Read instructions first before answering!

Last November 23rd this question was asked # of lanterns question

The question will be a bit different....I want you to answer questions as follows:


1. How many streetlights do you have in your collection?

Example answer: 1. Three (this is just an example)

2. Please name all your fixtures (or MAXIMUM of 25 if you have more than 25) and link the pictures if you can so we can see them (your own picture or the webpage, doesn't matter) and for each light put in source and wattage of the fixture. Also date them if you know.

Example answer: 2.
McGraw Unidor 175 -  100/150 watt HPS dated to August 1976.
Westinghouse OV-14B - 175 watt MV dated to 1957
Westinghouse OV-25 TuDor - 400 watt MV dated to 1982
 

Below questions does not include streetlights, but includes other fixtures!

3. How many fluorescent fixtures do you have? (you can add extra info if you want but not needed)

4. How many incandescent fixtures do you have? (you can add extra info if you want but not needed)

5. What other kinds of fixtures do you have besides the above you have replied?

(be sure to number the answers!)

Enjoy!

Here's my batch, 16 of 'em.

American Electric 125 400 watt HPS (c.1994)
ITT 13 175 watt MV (c. 1976)
Crouse-Hinds OVM 250 watt HPS (1986)
Crouse-Hinds OVZ 150 watt HPS (c.1991)
Crouse-Hinds OV-15 175 watt MV (c. 1983)

Westinghouse 1st Generation OV-25 400 watt MV (c. 1960)
Westinghouse 2nd Generation OV-25 400 watt MV/MH (c. 1967)
Westinghouse 3rd Generation OV-25 250 watt HPS (1975)
Westinghouse 4th Generation OV-25 400 watt MV (1980)
GE M250R2 100 watt HPS (1993)
GE M250A2 (M150) Powr/Door 150 watt HPS (1984)
GE M400A1 Powr/Door FCO 250 watt HPS (c. 1975)
GE M400R2 250 watt HPS (1993)
GE M400 250 watt HPS (1981)
GE M1000 1000 watt MV (1971)
 

Now, all of my luminaires have been reconditioned and refinished.  Five of the lumiaires still have their original ballast components.  The most heavily modified luminaires I have are my Westinghouse OV-25 flatbottom and my ITT model 13.  On the Westie, I fabricated a new ballast mount and added a P-cell receptacle before refurbishing it.  On the ITT, I had to alter the p-cell hole to accomodate a new receptacle.

Total is at least 7.

Misc: I have two HID floodlights, one is a Hubbell 250w MH, the other is a Widelite 250w MV. The Hubbell floodlight makes me think of a good friend of mine who got it for me, he has since passed away.

Fluorecent fixtures of my Own:
I have 12 known fluorescent fixtures which includes my desk lamps, circline and the Moe light fixture...

Incandescent fixtures of my Own:

I really can't count my incandescent fixtures, but I'll mention my special ones which is my old 1930s-1940s GE green RLM fixture made of porcelain with white reflector, also I have an old old retrofitted to incandescent gas lantern, it was probably retrofitted in the 1940s because there was a Mazda lamp inside. I have several lava lamps also!

Misc fixtures of my Own:
I want to mention my nice Exit Sign and my nice Crouse Hinds traffic light from 1985, I even changed the red light to LED!!!! It has 80 LEDs on the plate! It equals to 9 watts!

That's all for now!

I stopped counting them but i guess i have around 100 lanterns.
