Definitely the OV25 Silverliner as it was the first cobrahead style light ever made.

Fluro starter pings combined with a 50hz ballast hum and blinking tubes is music to my ears.

The OV15 comes in at a close second. I recently found out that they had some use on public roads in a few places down in Australia. Most are long gone but a few remain. I was told that some are still MV.
