Title: Anybody ever seen a fixture like this before?
Post by: joe_347V on December 14, 2011, 12:59:45 AM: I was broswing the electrical forum on a diy site and I came across a thread (http://www.doityourself.com/forum/lighting-light-fixtures-ceiling-exhaust-fans/323328-finding-mercury-vapor-replacement-bulb.html) about mercury vapour fixtures and lamps.

One of the fixtures linked was this (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t103/ArgMeMatey/P1000326.jpg)

I wonder who made such a fixture...it almost looks like a cross between a cobrahead and a powr/bracket. :o

Oh and here's (http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t103/ArgMeMatey/P1000329.jpg) the lamp they were talking about...I wonder what brand it is and it's age?

do you think this has a 12" or 8" refractor? It looks 8" to me, but I think 8" is something newer.....

Post by: joe_347V on December 16, 2011, 10:34:25 PM: Yeah it looks sort of like a 8" reflector and I guess no one else here wants to post here...............
