Not Threaded..

Ahh. It's a differnt color thoguh...

Looks like a homemade arm to me, I've never heard of a factory arm that mounts with two lag bolts through the pipe. Shocked
streetlight98   [Oct 02, 2011 at 08:32 PM]
Definetly homemade. It's better than using those stupid mounting flanges on the housing. Mad This actually looks pretty good.....
joe_347V   [Oct 02, 2011 at 08:34 PM]
I used a pair of conduit straps to mount my homemade arm on the wall instead of drilling...I think it looks better than drilling through the pipe.

And I never really liked those mounting flanges...they should have just included a very short mounting arm in the box.
streetlight98   [Oct 02, 2011 at 08:36 PM]
Yeah. I don't like those mounting flanges either. Rolling Eyes Do the NEMA heads have the flanges too? I know the GE don't
joe_347V   [Oct 02, 2011 at 08:39 PM]
I believe they don't. Very Happy
Form109   [Oct 02, 2011 at 11:05 PM]
the mounting flanges don't phase me...though i tried to cut them off one of my blasters and cracked the slipfitter. Laughing

However Hubbell did make a rather strange yard fixture....12" Refractor with a Mounting Flange AND nema like latches for the refractor!

No, actually NEMAs don't, just the fake ones.
streetlight98   [Oct 03, 2011 at 12:52 AM]
That's good. The only companies that still make real NEMA heads are AEL, GE and Howard Lighting. Neutral GE doesn't offer glass or MH though.
gailgrove   [Oct 03, 2011 at 12:55 AM]
Don't forget Cooper!
streetlight98   [Oct 03, 2011 at 12:56 AM]
Oh yes. i was thinking their's had the mounting flange, but only the Eternalume does......
joe_347V   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:14 AM]
Does anyone still make a glass bucket assembly?
gailgrove   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:16 AM]
AEL has it as an option. Very Happy
joe_347V   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:18 AM]
Anyone ask for a quote on a MH NEMA with a glass bucket, must be quite expensive compared to the cheapo yardlights.
streetlight98   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:19 AM]
I'd guess $150 to $200 dollars.
gailgrove   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:20 AM]
No way, a cobra like the 115 only costs about $100, no way a NEMA could cost more than a cobra.
streetlight98   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:22 AM]
A HPS cobrahead with a plastic lens would cost that, but a MH cobra with a glass lens would cost up to doulbe that. The cobra glass itself is $75. Shocked
joe_347V   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:22 AM]
I've gotten FCO glass for two bucks a piece before. Shocked
gailgrove   [Oct 03, 2011 at 02:23 AM]
That's only if you buy it as a part which always costs a lot more, AEL likely buys them for $10 a piece since they order so many.
