OVH drop lens for a spot replacement
|
Unusual (so far) spot replacement in the city of Brampton, Ontario, Canada using a cooper OVH with a prismatic lens. Almost New York style! I wonder if this is just a case of using whatever parts available for a relamp. Excuse the poor camera phone quality.

@Matt, where is this light? I'd like to check it out sometime and confirm what it is.
Since the door isn't flat on the bottom i'm convinved this is and OVZ or possibly an OVX.
I was blinded by the sun observing this, but I'm very sure the body here is an OVH! Maybe since it's also the canadian unpainted style, it really made it hard to tell it apart from an OVZ. I remember when I saw my first OVX, I thought it was an 1980's powerlite .
@Niall this rarity for us is on van kirk just S of sandalwood. Best of luck identifying the difference between OVH/OVG models that look entirely alike to me! Where did you see your additional spotting of this kinda thing?
But still, at this rate I wonder when all the Powerlites will be gone.
Update: I went past this light and got a picture at a better angle, it is a OVG for sure! The picture isn't great but it should be good enough to prove what it is. I'll upload it once the power comes back on - I'm now being tethered by my dad's phone, the UPS died.
@SL98; I think it's awesome you used scenery (or powerline details?) to find the location of this fixture based on only knowing the intersection near by.
@Niall; I think it's awesome you went on a light scavenger hunt because of what I started. But hey it is a hardcore lighting blog after all! Share your pic . I had an internet blackout myself.
@All; It's an OVH with a refractor lens popped in by the installer LOL... or an OVG...
And yeah our streetviews get updated often for some reason, while I think some of the ones you linked are the old foggy ones.
