I am pretty sure about the ITT ones as well. These LPS yard lights surely looked sweet at night too! Getting hold of any of the parts from these fixtures always would be a great idea if they are to found anywhere, especially the reflector which is specially longer for the elongated bulb. I do not have one of these lights but might end up making one someday if I cannot get hold of an intact fixture. The special reflector would be the toughest part of the assembly. :lps:
I’m sure they look great day or night! Maybe you can come up and we can save the ones in the yard I mentioned! That would be cool if you did decide to build one yourself!

Are the  :lps: ones you mentioned in that yard abandoned?

Please refer to www.insulators.info where I periodically post many images of lights and insulators in the group's Picture Poster Gallery. Thank you.

No. Maybe they’d take up a replacement offer.

Also spotted tons of new Cree RSWs in parts of San Jose, CA.

Spotted a new 3000k Solarmax fixture on I101 in San Jose, CA.

Spotted lots of HPS CalTrans owned lights near San Jose, CA and lots of LPS lights in San Jose (unfortunately couldn't get a picture of them). As well as some top mount MV lights on a pedestrian bridge and some shaded M-400As (in Sunnyvale, CA I think).

Yes, since PG&E is doing the San Jose LED change out, and PG&E loves their RSWs.

Figures, I know they're obsessed with them.

At least they're probably better than what San Jose likely would've used (Leotek GCM).

Yeah, although the RSW lights may not be the most efficient, they are good in the long run. Leotek is improving though.

When I went up to Plymouth I saw some really cool stuff:
-Florescent parking lot lights
-Old Incandescent RLM style fixture on a garage.
-Old GE 101 in Ashland which is the first NEMA style fixture spotted up there. I also think it was HPS!

While up in Plymouth for a tournament game I saw an old Westinghouse OV-18 that had a old traffic light mounted inside it! I’ll be up there tomorrow and I’ll try to get a pic.

Noticed an old Caltrans owned M400A2 FCO and the double-guyed pole that it was on was taken down while some work is done to some underground sewer pipes, no doubt it will be replaced with something more modern.

Also spotted a bunch of Retrofitted M400s and M1000s in San Jose.

Oh man, I saw a GE Power Glow in Dallas. Also saw my first MV cobrahead IRL in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the local post office. I won’t say anymore in order to minimize spoilers…  8)  :mvcobrahd:
