when were the last powerlites made?

In the late 90s- very early 2000s.

Darren, is it just me or does this light's door seem rounder right above the refractor than the other two you have? The one's I'm after look more like this one but with plastic lenses. I guess the ones I'm after might be B2227s instead of R37s? I'm pretty sure the Powerlite logo is not embossed on the door though. I was looking at the R37s I'm after and something about them seems different than this light.

BTW, could you take some inside shots of the 150W HPS one? I'm curious as to what I should expect if/when I get the ones near me.

Also, There are some R37s at a church in Providence that are painted gray. Kinda weird seeing them gray. If I repaint mine (if I get them) I'll probably paint them silver even though they're supposed to be gray. These church ones also have the glass lenses too. Dunno the wattage but they're HPS. Only ever been by there once.

Yes, it could be just a little bit rounder than the newer ones. I have uploaded the pics of the R37 open. Wink
