I always order the brand new streetlights i get from Graybar. This cost about 130 dollars. I only buy streetlights from ebay if its something thats been discontinued, or something that i cant order brand new from the factory. Like mercury vapor cobraheads for example. Other than that, I like to get my lights brand new. Although it would be nice if i could find some used lights that were taken out of service. It would be cool to have some used ones.
Used ones aren't TOO hard to find. xD I have been finding lots of used fixtures lately, but I have halted my streetlight collection for now, they clutter the house. xD
How many do you have?
I only have a couple of new fixtures, I got a NOS M-400 A2 FCO, which was like almost 300 dollars on Ebay, I am surprised my family got it for me. xD
My OVZ 250 watt HPS, my 115 150w HPS FCO from Graybar.. Those are the only fixtures I have that haven't been used in service, all of my other like.. 17 cobraheads have seen service, some have had service for 20 or 30 + Years.
I only have a couple of cobras and both them were used and originally 250w HPS, I swapped out the HPS ballasts in them for a 70w MH and a 250w MV/MH ballast.
Why is the FCO socket mount different then the drop lens Socket mount? How are the 250 watt HPS socket mounts for the drop lens? It seems they kept it the same for FCO...
The 250 watt lamps have a tight fit inside the M-250 R2 reflector. On my drop lense reflector I couldn't even fit a 250 watt HPS lamp in the reflector without unscrewing the socket! Even with the socket positioned all the way back!
The fixture looks very clean, how much did you pay for this?
Where did you get these?
