Yeah, it looks like it was installed recently too, the streetview still shows the pole with a regular Toronto gumball.

Well, it looks like we have a new Toronto gumball mystery. Laughing

I think i may have found a match

Thanks! I wonder if Toronto started using them because Cooper isn't making the URB design anymore.

Maybe. These look a bit better anyways IMO.

Yeah sort of, although I'd like then more if they had a shorter head like your average NEMA...well and a latch on reflector. Razz

Hmm, I thought Mike contacted Cooper and found out that the URB was discontinued in 2008.

I'm pretty sure Cooper still makes them, I've seen them installed just last year.

Yes, I was told they were discontinued. The ones you see there are either not made by Cooper or Cooper makes them per custom order similar to the OV-15 and OV-25.

The longer ones actually makes them look more vintage! Did you know that the internally ballast NEMA heads of the 50s were LARGE! I mean they were really enlonged and FAT!

@ Joe is this bare finished or painted gray?

joe_347V

[Dec 14, 2012 at 02:29 AM]

They're bare and a few more got installed this year which makes me think their Cooper URB stock is running out.

I personally like this design better. Looks more vintage IMO. I especially love the extended head. Now if only i could get one in 250W MV. Laughing

they are getting more k215 in toronto and starting to replace some of the current fixtures

joe_347V

[Jul 06, 2013 at 08:57 PM]

They're spot replacing the Cooper URBs with them as Cooper stopped making the URB in 2008 as confirmed by Mike...

Hmm, not sure who make this style of gumball, but it's a lot harder to find in Toronto compared to the Cooper "Toronto Gumball". I only know of three in the Port Lands area of Toronto.

Edit: Thanks to Mike for the fixture make/model
