Just out of curiosity, how come you never brought up any of your cooper lights having a hammered texture before you got the OVS? The hammered finish is probably just to make it look fancy since most Cooper lights are boring looking lol.

Because I didn't know what a hammered texture was until I GOT the OVS.

The cooper lights look pretty good in my opinion, I like the OVH, it looks very cool, at least in my opinion. I like the OVX as well.

I like the OVC, OVM, OVS, but those are the only cooper designs I'm really that fond of.

I have never heard of the cooper OCM. What does it look like? *looool*

You mean OVM.

Gotta love the "e" button.

What does the "E" Key have to do with "OCM" instead of "OVM"?

I think he means the edit button.

Oh duhhhh. That is very handy. But then it makes it look like I said that to nothing.

lol yeah i meant the edit button.

I do think these ones look good, not really bad at all. Much better then the Durastar I will say that. xD

The OVX has the more classic design, Even though no one seems to like the OVX.

The OVH IS an OVZ with a different door and a different reflector.

To me the OVX has a pretty weird design LOL.

I'd say OVX and Durastar both have a weird design.

But LED fixtures are even weirdly designed than them.

I don't feel the same discust for the OVX as I do for the durastars, but I'm not really a fan for any cooper current cooper designs except for the OVL. The OVL is a nice design, but those ballasts crap out so easily.

Yeah, the modern streetlight designs seem so bland, personally I think the modern Cooper designs I like the most are the Cooper OV15/20/Ls. Oh and the URB design too.

I don't see the OV-15 and OV-25 here. I prefer the westinghouse designs over the Cooper incarnations of the silverliners. My favorite current cobrahead is the M-250R2. My favorite older cobraheads are the M-250A, M-250R bail latch, and ITT 13. I like the Form 400 powerpack and M-100 too, but that's way back.

I wonder why Cooper still makes the OV-25 or OV-15, and only on special order... Why is that? They cant sell them normal? And why would they make an older design still? That's what I don't get.

I'm not sure. I'd rather see the OV-15 and OV-25 instead of the weird looking cooperized lights.

You mean this style OV 25? as compared to the newer design or the even newer one with the grey paint and Cooperized reflector.

I don't mind the original or the 70s Canadian design, but I don't really like the grey Cooperized version, fortunately they haven't made it up to Canada.

If you mean the version that I have , Cooper didn't come up with that design, Westinghouse did. As far as I know Cooper didn't come up with any OV-25, they just turned them grey and added FCO as an option. In response to Ian's question, they still make them because there is a demand for them, maybe somewhere a utility uses nothing but them, who knows, I saw two installed only a few years ago here, unpainted of course.

I know Texas uses them. Texas is big on those OV-25 FCO's. xD I don't see anything like that here, just the coopers, but coopers aren't that common here.

And about the OVH.. What was the point of it? I know it has a flat optics door and a different reflector, I think it was made to BE an FCO fixture, they just had drop lens as an option (OVG) to spread about more light with a flat angle, even though I would prefer to use the OVZ.

I wonder why they discontinued the OVM, they should of kept it, now the only medium fixture (beside the OV-25 because that is only special order) is the OVD/OVY/OVF. And that is similar to the OVH but bigger. And a wider housing. And a bail latch while the OVH still has that spring latch.
