I myself have seen brand new gumballs in person in service, I think some of them were actually the Coopers you are pointing out.....I saw 2 different style gumballs....which appears to be made by 2 different manufactures.....the one you just showed me LOOKS very much like the one I saw so now I guess I know some are the Coopers!

See the video I made

 right here.... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7rsTgwH-Q4)

in this very same highway there were also original gumballs found in much more worn condition but still standing! I am not sure if they still worked but they were def incandescent! Those in the video are HPS.

I'll have to contact Cooper to see if they still make this. I doubt they do because it's not on the website, but it may be a special orders item.....

Well, I contacted Cooper Lighting and they said to "contact my local Streetworks reprisenative, Shamrock Power." Cooper manufactures the fixtures, you would think THEY know the answer, right? They just don't like answering simple questions....


UPDATE: this is an email i got:
"Michael,
Sorry, I was able to confirm today that Cooper Lighting no longer manufacturers the URB fixture and has no replacement.

Shamrock Power Sales"

Hmm. Yeah I had copied down all the PDFs too. I guess it's a good thing too.
