Cooper Lighting changes glassware on their small Streetworks Luminaires

(1/2) > >>

NiMo:
After a long association with the Westinghouse design Holophane glassware, Cooper Lighting recently changed over to the old style American Electric design for their OVX, OVG, and OVZ luminaires, I'll post pics of these in the near future.

Mike:
REALLY?!?! So THAT'S why i saw a 60s style AE glass on a newer OVZ installed... That style glass is still made by Holophane today so i guess they just decided it was cheaper to go with a "standard" mold over a custom one? For a picture, click here.

Antstar85:
Thats is weird, the state has been changing out fixtures on the interstates here and was wondering why the OVX fixtures installed had those glass lens. Very interesting.

Mike:
when exacly did this change occur? was it in the past few months or earlier this year? The distribution is way better with the new glass. The old squared westie/crouse-hinds/cooper lens has a very poor distribution with the OVZ/OVX reflector imo.

slz:
In the Worcester area, I noticed the new ovx's (that Wilmington wire has been installing) have had these new refractors since late last year so I would figure this is new for 2013.
