Title: Westinghouse Luminaire ID Help
Post by: Nevada Willis on May 17, 2011, 08:03:21 PM

I scored a Westy incandescent that someone I know salvaged from a dumpster.  It's kind of like an AK-10 but not exactly like it.  The reflector has three J-slots and the reflector twists into the luminaire, held by three pins.  A set screw keeps the reflector from turning.  I'm hoping someone can ID the model number from the photos.  Also I have Joslyn refractor presently on the light as I don't have an appropriate Westy refractor that is sized to fit the hinged retainer.

Any ideas?  Anyone have a refractor to sell or trade?

Thanks!

If you can't get one leave as is, this looks nice.

Thanks.  Worst case scenario I will keep this refractor on it.  I like to put everything back to original if I can but I'm not obsessed over it so long as the components are the correct design, even if not the correct brand.  It does put out a really nice light and with the new high output CFLs (gasp!  I know!) I can afford to use it to replace a MH security light and it gives off a pretty "natural" glow.
