Seriously.. Watch where your backing up
This shoebox which was actually a pretty funny sight was knocked down because of snow removal crews backing up and forward. The pole was intact except the bottom. I might end up reporting this but I hope they just reuse the shoebox

Were the old lights OVXs? If so, YAY! BTW, the OVF with a sag lens is the OVY. (Why they give a different name based on the lens you choose is beyond me Rolling Eyes Laughing )

Oh thanks, so rare I forgot it was an OVY. Funny thing, on the manufacturer website the OVY's indicate the lens is prismatic, but the one's I'm seeing are clear sag glass.

The knock downs replacements I've seen til now used to be OV-25, OVZ and OVX.

Hmm, I guess Cooper starting using a different sag lens and never bothered to update the spec sheets. Rolling Eyes The older ones had something similar to a shallow drop lens on it.
m@   [Feb 24, 2014 at 04:53 AM]
Matter of fact, every OVY sag lens I've seen has had no imprints/texture on it. I've seen tons with clear sag for temporary MTO lighting.
joe_347V   [Feb 24, 2014 at 05:01 AM]
I recall seeing some OVYs with the textured sag lens around the DVP/York Mills interchange but I could be wrong.

they usually have a little etched out spot at the very bottom...

Friday it was really windy 60 MPH gusts and there was a rusty pole that snapped just above the base a few inches! Lucky no one was parked there! The shoebox was 250W HPS cooper and totally obliterated! The mid pole flood wasn't dammaged the lamp was still intact too Shocked

What's really scarey is how these lights still work! Here I've never seen a fallen light still working. usually something breaks lol. And if something shorts with the metal pole lights with individual PCs here, the fuse/breaker in the manhole next to the pole will blow, disconnecting that pole and keeping the other poles powered up.

There is now a orange pylon sticking out of the snow now.

@m@ in 2009-2010 the signal knockdown replacements in the east side were AE 125's.
m@   [Mar 01, 2014 at 12:19 AM]
Makes sense, knockdown replacements in the west end were also AE 125s! I am a westender.
Model25FanForever   [Mar 01, 2014 at 05:21 PM]
I never seen any AE 125 knockdown signal poles in the west end of Brampton. I know of 4 intersections on the east end that do.
m@   [Mar 01, 2014 at 08:26 PM]
Fluke. I know one in the west, Sandalwood and Braidwood have a AEL 125 pole. Funny thing, as driving by today, I notice it has developed a forward lean into the intersection, maybe just the frozen ground. I guess west means west of Hurontario though, you're right then.

Ahh yes...Winter Kill..! This happens a couple of times a year in the snow belt.
TiCoune66   [Mar 04, 2014 at 01:51 AM]
Funny thing is the electrical connections are also intact xD
joe_347V   [Mar 04, 2014 at 04:35 AM]
@M@, I was waiting for the streetcar at Broadview today, and I noticed that the platform there is lit with 250w MH OVYs that have textured/ribbed sag lenses instead of the clear one. Judging from the nameplate on the poles, they were installed in 2003.
Model25FanForever   [May 08, 2014 at 10:54 PM]
*Update - This was replaced earlier this week with a new round concrete pole and new cooper shoebox. Lens is browned out though. I wish they reused the light since there was nothing wrong with it when it was removed.
streetlight98   [May 09, 2014 at 12:40 AM]
They put up a new light with a browned out lens? Confused Or was it a used light? Still they should have used a new refractor and if they installed a used light then they should have reinstalled the light that fell. Rolling Eyes Laughing
joe_347V   [May 09, 2014 at 04:21 AM]
They should just go over here and ask for a glass refractor from all the cobras they scrapped recently. Laughing
Model25FanForever   [May 09, 2014 at 10:42 AM]
Yeah really! Laughing It looks ugly, I liked the old one way better. I noticed most of the newer shoebox's here have browned out lens or are yellow. Theres no way the lens could be new
