Hmm i wonder if the drop lens version is still called the OV-25 and if it still has the old Westinghouse style reflector versus this newer style one. Can you take a side shot of this? And a side shot with your silverliner's drop glass refractor? thanks. Smile

Heh you should also take a pic of this light with the OV-25 glass in instead of the FCO glass, I wonder how would the distribution be if you paired a drop lens with the Cooperized reflector.

i already mentioned that Joe. Razz Laughing Since the OVD uses this style reflector i don't think it's be too bad, but cooper fixtures tend to have poor distribution in general... The newer rounded OVZ glass lenses have a VERY smooth distribution though and I'm actually impressed with Cooper for once lol.

I see Laughing had a long day today woke up at 6:30 and only got home at 9:30 PM. Razz

I know that the state of Texas uses those in the highways as state lighting! So GREAT FIND HERE, it's basically a Westinghouse OV-25 design which now owns by Cooper! That is one of the best rarest find of "TODAYS" lighting!

You can see one of those in service in Texas taken by Form109 see right here

@ Jace I see them all over the Interstate upgradeing to those OVWs to replace the older non FCO lights and also on New Install. In San Antonio Texas Along I10, I35 also US 281.
I like these better as light distrubution is better on the roadway, also for HPS non FCO tend to be glare bomb anyway. so my state also install FCO OVX also.

I never knew they were called OVW's, we always called them OV-25 FCO's, I guess they have their own special name for this fixture. xD

I wouldn't mind having one of these. Even though I just got rid of many of my streetlights so my collection has been cut down tremendously.

@ Ian; how come you got rid of a lot of your lights if you don't mind me asking? Sad
joe_347V   [Jul 24, 2013 at 03:44 AM]
@Ian, I'm wondering too if you don't mind me asking. Sad

@ Ian, And me three. Sad

Because for one, me and my parents moved to a new house in Highlands Ranch and the house is much smaller, so my parents wanted me to get rid of lots of them, so I did. I even got rid of ones I didn't want to get rid of. D:

I still have lots of lights though, but way less now, and I kept the ones I really really wanted to keep though.

Just this new house doesn't have as much room as our old house did so my parents wanted to get rid of lots of them.
streetlight98   [Jul 25, 2013 at 10:22 PM]
Aww man. Sad Well, at least you were able to keep some. Cool Which ones did you keep?
joe_347V   [Jul 25, 2013 at 11:56 PM]
That sucks Sad but at least you were able to keep some of your lights.
