Nice! Is that information board about the lantern? Very Happy

Btw. 1000W - what light source? Must be a lot of light and lot of heat as well! Confused

You know, I have no idea. Would be cool if it was. It's probably a campus map or something. Never actually been there, just was roaming on Google Streetview.

Westinghouse OV-35. Super large clamshell.

Nice find! I wonder if the OV-25 was a later replacement.

I'm thinking that too. Would make sense if it's a 400W HPS too, since these clams were probably 1000W MV. The OV-25 was on a taller pole (still painted black) so I'm guessing it was a replacement for a knockdown. I wonder if these are still original or if they were converted to PSMH.

There were three of these and one OV-25 silverliner. Everything else was either acorn post tops, bell shaped lights, or older square shoeboxes with yellowed drop dish lenses, the latter likely being MV.
