Oldest serviced fixture. « on: July 08, 2024, 08:40:24 AM » Author: Baked bagel 11
Just wondering what the oldest fixture that you know of which has been serviced (re-lamped, cobbed, repaired, etc...) recently.

I know of a bunch of old clamshell fixtures (Westinghouse OV-20s and GE Form 400s) at a mobile home park at which my great grandma used to live. They all have LED corn lamps in them.

There are at least a fair amount of 1920s/1930s incandescent acorns in Pasadena, CA. The oldest in my area are LM Spherolite’s.

There are some 1950s-60s era lights near santamonica pier. @Milwaukeeman2003, Have you got photos of the acorns?

Sadly no, but you can find photos of them here on LG.

Quite late to the party, I must admit. The town I live in has Sternberg metal halide teardrops, most have been cobbed, nothing too interesting. The neighboring city just south of me still has a plethora of 60s LM Unistyle 400s, a mix of modern and vintage NEMA heads (I've posted examples of both in my gallery), one induction streetlight, among some other things. Very interesting place, I'll have to go back down there sometime soon.

Cool! Are there any original larger incandescent gumballs or radial waves in toronto?

Interesting, thanks. Are most of the cooper (urb?) gumballs being replaced with cyclone katanas?

I once saw an old incandescent fixture, looks like a cap or disc, at my native village. It still is used every night from 9pm to 7am, and uses incandescent bulbs! The house nearby maintains it, and they have a huge pile of 40-100w incandescents (some brand new) from when nearby buildings switched to LED. Unfortunately no images, but it has an olive green paint outside and white inside. It dosent have any bracket, the wire holds it. The cover has been repainted, and the  socket has been replayed many times due to rain.  If all goes well, that lamp will last for many decades more.
