Pendant Westinghouse OV-20 underpass light on the Alameda St and Los Angeles St onramp to the US-101 North in Los Angeles, California. It's been about five years since I last saw it. I barely saw it but it caught my eye. Haven't seen it at night. Behind it are soffit lights with flat glass lenses, which I assume are still MV. One got a lowbay hacked into it, which I assume is HPS.

I’m sure someone has probably already posted this but here it is just in case I guess. The area is too dangerous to visit in person unfortunately. See Here Here’s a row of abandoned light poles in a unincorporated area. The row consists of a incandescent gumball, a mercury M-400, and incandescent post tops missing their globes. It appears at some point (I’d say late 70s or early 80s), SCE installed their own lights on wooden poles, which I suspect led to this circuit being disconnected. |

| Oooh nice finds, lots of seemingly abandoned luminaires on that road. Further down the road at the overpass are three shaded OV20s. One horizontal and two pendant.

| I remember seeing a link to those a while back, but somewhere on the gallery.
Those OV-20s may be CalTrans-owned.

I’ve mentioned these locations in the past but never linked them, so here they are just for reference. Here’s a group of some abandoned Norelco(Philips) SRPs in a parking lot on a vacant parcel in San Bernardino. These appear to be 135W SOX. See HereWhen I was looking around the infamous Queen Mary parking lot in Long Beach, I spotted where they were storing spare Norelco(Philips) SRPs, Spaulding Palomars, and other stuff on top of a shipping container. This is a older shot, they appear to be a mix of 90W and 135W SOX. See Here |

| These fixtures along the railroad tracks at a warehouse (possibly MBTA) at the Holbrook/Avon town line. I'll make a point to see these if I can!

Here’s something I thought was strange. I found a AEL 315 “crimefighter” in Chicago. Take a close look, it’s not the typical GE M-250A2 version. See Here |

Wow that is strange! Unfortunately it’s probably gone now. |

HID, LPS, and preheat fluorescents forever!!!!!!

| These lanterns look very European to me. It is possible they might have been imported from Mexico and are operating Philips SON-T PIA high pressure sodium lamps since some street lanterns in Mexico use European specification high pressure sodium lamps such as the Philips SON-T PIA and the Osram NAV-T Super 4Y lamps.

| Those luminaires in the link above are the Philips/Lumec Capella CPLM. They are intended for the North American market. From the looks of it, they appear to be using standard LU250 lamps.
