After a long 2 and almost 1/2 years, the OV-15 was replaced by this AE 115. I reported it once a year ago and nothing happened. Hopefully the other OV-15 keeps going for a while
And it's not a super drooper . I notice they're using black photocells now, the mass 115 installs on Hurontatio north of Wanless have them too. Ah shiny unpainted newness, always makes it easy to spot new cobras.
The one above has the tilted-up syndrome, which I see is all-too common with the 115s lol. The 113s never had this issue, because the 113s used a 4-bolt slipfitter, which is not only more secure, but you can gradually adjust the leveling, rather than have to adjust in segments (you can choose a step to use but you can't adjust the light between steps, so the light can only be adjusted in increments). The 115 is available with a 4-bolt fitter as an option but it probably costs more. 4-bolt fitters also take longer to install so that's probably why they're not as common.
Model25's links don't look too droopy, but they prob are as even when I tried to photograph some, they turn out less droopy lol.
I found one that kind of looks droopy: HERE. Now the droopy 115's around us are hilarious mainly because they are installed NEW that way, not droops caused by the elements!
Ah yeah your link has he light tilting downward quite a bit! Do the OVZs ever tilt down? At least with them they got the tilted optics to the lens is still level lol.
I only know of two OVZ's drooping, and they were installed this way: HERE
The other one is the next pole, nothing different to see. Yup, so now their optics are level haha.
Oh yeah I forgot about those. I still dont know why they used OVZ on that typical OVX setup in a construction project with mainly OVX's. The AE 125 median pole that is closest to Airport road was crushed a month ago and last I saw theres been an orange pylon there.
The AE 125's and the replaced AE 125 (later OVXed) that was where those OVZ's are before (streetview) were oddly installed. I think they replaced OV-15 polefabs. They were probably some of the oldest tall aluminum poles in brampton going by the base that was used for them. Only base set up like that I had seen here.
Here's an OVC from around 1990 that is tilted downward. It seems mostof the OVCs were actually installed this way too. The OVCs have 4-bolt slipfitters (I have one) and if you only tighten the two back bolts, the light will tilt down. If you tighten the two front bolts, the light tilts up, and if you tighten all four bolts the same amount then the light is level.
