Incandescent OV-20!
In Santa Ana, CA on a dead end street, lies this sweet beauty. Not only a shaded stamped OV-20, but when it lit up at night it is an incandescent! It appears to have been modified to use a series adapter and plug in socket, which caused the bulb's filament to be mounted near the front end of the fixture. Looks odd, but cool otherwise! There are plenty of series circuits in this part of Santa Ana, either incandescent or low wattage metal halide on series ballasts.

I visited a house that has two incandescent OV-20's over their sport court. The house was a rental, the court was in bad condition and the lights have been disconnected pretty much forever...the wiring was a mess. I bet it looked great when it was working!

Ahh so odds are that the OV-20s were put up at the court when it was new? Were they incandescent or MV?

Nice! I thought the pendant OV20 was for incandescent though and the side mount one for mercury.

No I think they could be used for either one.
