Nice shot Joseph,these started out as Powerlite Devices,then Sylvania,and currently this model produced by AEL as a Dusk To Dawn.Your pic looks like a Sylvania era fixture.

Thanks Darren! Was this also sold under the "Private Eye" name or did they only do that for the 60s predecessorof this?

This is really cool. I've never seen one of these in person; where I live the GE PowrBrackets are the ruling class in ballast-in-arm fixtures.

Thanks, I don't think they were used a lot in the US though.

Powr/Brackets arn't used here. We use NEMA heads in the few areas that bucket optics are used. Even in rural areas we use cobraheads. Pascoag Electric, which is a small utility in NW RI, uses NEMAs. That's where RI's Durastar population is. Laughing

THey currently use AEL 115. Smile

The tags say 05 instead of 5 like most do. AEL does that for some reason on some of their lights. Neutral

Sylvania Powerlite Bracket Lume

These bracket lumes are commonly in rural areas here as security lights, this one is a Sylvania Powerlite but I've also come across GE PowrBrackets and maybe even those Douglas Powerbackets.
