I went to the ReStore, found one GE 100W and a off brand 75W incandescent, didn’t get them as I prefer a pack of them, all the local ReStores (Anaheim / Bellflower) have run completely dry of new items as of July 18th.

Saw an OV-25 (looked like a 3rd generation) in the parking lot of a drive-in. It does not work at night. Here's the Street View link.

Older generation. PC receptacle over lamp like the first generation but single door like the third generation.

I believe that is the second generation. I also see gas station fluorescents across the street!

Today's finds:
- GE M250As on cool short arms that look very old.
- MV M250R and M250A2 at a mobile home dealer.
- Old M400A that looks to be MV.
- Some MV M250R1s in an Eversource part of Epsom NH.
- Lots of 100w MV M250As
- More NEMA heads including a newer looking MV one.
- Another Unitil Cooper OVZ recently installed.
Also, get this, there was a place that sold campers that had all kinds of MH highbays and only 1 LED spot replacement. That spot replacement had only 1 diode working!

I wish I could live there! :lol: That's a lot of cool stuff.

By the way, I saw some Sterner Lighting Executive shoebox fixtures and one of those 1980's contemporary mitered post top lights in someone’s driveway. It was a Moldcast Lighting Pericline.

Haha. I’d love to live there just because Calais has a lot of my family there, and lots of older houses there.

I forgot to mention, I also saw a big 60s GE M400 at an abandoned motel and a parking lot that had a couple MV Revere 2600s.

Spotted a group of Norelco SRP fixtures in a abandoned parking lot. They appear to be 135W SOX with some tilted upwards. Located on Western Ave in San Bernardino, CA.

Awesome that they're still there. Chances are that they'll be removed if someone buys the property, or if the owner sells the property to someone.

I noticed today the EOL RAB wallpack on my house is all black inside and there's this mark on the siding that looks like a burn mark. I remember being able to see that the bulb was broken, now I can't even see it.. What could've caused this if the lamp was already EOL?

What is a RAB wallpack?
RAB Lighting is a brand that makes very good quality fixtures. A wall pack is just the name for a light fixture that mounts to the wall.
