Looks good. They look like late 50s or 60s fixtres with PCs.

Nice shot, the pointed refractors on them are pretty cool.

Merc I guess?

In a flea market I once found a GE gumball refractor for 20$ but my dad thought it was too expensive. It broke my heart but I had to leave it there. I just hope I can get back there to buy it!

I wish we had a Flea Market (Car Boot Sale) where we can buy Lighting Items, the ones I do know of are too far to travel by Bus or Bicycle,

Wow $20 USD thats Cheap, I bet if they were on E-bay they would sell for at least $50USD if not More

All the Best

I see round red stickers on the gumballs. In my utility, that means that the light is owned by the community, but serviced by the utility. Prehaps thats why the gumballs are still there.

The round red stickers are actually it means they were recently relamped....PEPCO had all there LONG NEEDED MV group relamped and they also did HPS group relamped and incandescent group relamped!

My electrical company uses green stickers.

Vince...nope incandescent Vince boy! and dude 20 dollars is EXTREMELY CHEAP for a gumball...SUPER CHEAP...but it's great you respected and honored your dad, even though he may have been wrong....

Cool to see that's it's still incandescent, the ones here were switched to MH in the '90s.

You can see two cobraheads in this pic....one of them having newer arm which obviously is a newer addition

Next summer if I get to that place it's 100% sure I'll get it! It's close to another flea market where I found those three OV-20s. I sure would like to get back from there with a gumball refractor and three OV-20s!

i agree

BAD NEWS, PEPCO has decided to slam all those with AE 115 FCO HPS....at least these old arms are still there....

PEPCO is basically wiping out EVERY SINGLE MV out there plus incandescent, they even are replacing the private area lighting lights which are 99% MV Powerbrackets with HPS Powerbrackets.

My opinion...wait for LEDs, HPS is obsolete already!

Too bad they're gone. I wonder how many incandescent streetlights remain in service.

Also I wonder why they didn't opt to go with MH gumballs and 3000K lamps like Toronto did.

PEPCO doesn't service ANY MH at all.....not even ONE! They are HPS, MV, and incandescent...( now it's basically almost 100% HPS although I saw some test LEDs, and one town under PEPCO gotten some LEDs) So basically the only option for private area lighting in PEPCO are HPS!!! LOL

Same for National Grid, though Joe M. they did use 400W MH lamps in their remaining 400W MV cobraheads until they stopped maintaining them period. He mentioned they also have a number of MH lights at their warehouses and major facilities so i guess technically they do maintain MH lights, but they strictly install HPS lights unless the fixture is provided by the person paying the tab for the lights.

At least they were replaced with AEL's...

Duquesne Light is getting rid of their mercury vapor street lights too but they're doing it individually when the lamp burns out. They want to change all of their lighting to high pressure sodium. They don't use metal halide lights either, in fact they're not even included on their tariff.

Okay a new discovery about PEPCO...apparently, there is another kind of lamp PEPCO does use, but I haven't seen one in use yet, but they are Philips QL Induction only either 55 watts or 85 watts and apparently only available in tear drop fixtures, but for other stuff, the shoe boxes, the cobraheads, the posttops provided by PEPCO are ALL HPS, no MH!

I found that Induction light in Pepco's website. For a while I thought I clicked the wrong link and showed up in another utility's website... A big WTH moment for me when I found that out.
