Never seen an LPS NEMA head before, in person at least. I guess they aren't common?

Nice sight!
There is a climate controlled storage place I see off the highway that has about 40 of these, occasionally I see an EOL lamp just glowing red

That's going to be 35 or 55 watts.

Yeah. Anything over that I believe MUST be operated horizontally.

Very nice pic!..i like how the background is all blurred! 5 stars.

Looking at the design of the slipfitter, and I think it maybe a Norelco/Philips fixture.

I'm guessing the sun yellows the refractor? Cause LPS has very little UV
icefoglights   [Jan 03, 2012 at 06:20 PM]
UV and heat cause yellowing, neither of which LPS produces much of.

It looks like the are BB dents in the reflector, so that yellowed refractor maybe a replacement.

the Bucket looks exactly of design of Formed Plastics, but maybe it's not a replacement if they have done some shooting from underneath? And yes I agree with Devonte! GREAT shot I like the effect of clear fixture with blurry background...five stars too!

It looks like the refractor could be easily replaced unlike the modern yard lights, and nice shot too the blurry background really brings out the detail of the light.
