Cool to see some of these made it down to the US, I've seen a few MV ones here too along with HPS ones, and I also have one that I converted from HPS to MV/MH.

Well we have our AELs shipped from Mexico and Coppers and GEs from the US so its not that outrageous and yes they are discontinued.

i Figured Sylvania Doesn't make any Cobraheads or Outdoor Fixtures anymore Eh?

gailgrove

[Aug 05, 2010 at 09:02 PM]

No they don't, Powerlite was bought out by AEL, hence why they still make the Twist-Pak and a few other Powerlite designs.

i Haven't seen a Twist Pack Anywhere....Never....even though it is a Nice Design i don't know of any place where they are used.

Hey Niall do you know when they discontinued the B2255?

[Aug 05, 2010 at 11:56 PM]

Besides the Lense and the Twistpacks what Other Design is continued in AEL from Powerlite?

gailgrove

[Aug 06, 2010 at 01:11 AM]

No I don't know when it was discontinued (maybe Darren knows), one other design that was continued is the Georgian Series, it has been modified a bit but is the same basic design.

Those poles (mostly the arm part) looks mostly alike the Washington DC arms see here also I may be wrong but I think there was some arms like this on metal poles in Toronto Canada area.....It's not a style (in specific geometery shape of the arm) i see too often, even if it was pretty basic shape! LOL

Yep, they do have some similar looking arms in Toronto but most of them were removed in 2005/2006. Here's a example of one.

most signal poles in birmingham have arms like this,they are pretty tall too and nearly all of them have 400 and 1 KW Fixtures.
