I see it has a DTL photocell on it too. Smile I'm guessing this is a factory-packaged complete kit? I have two of those arms in 30". I have a 1960s American Electric 24" bracket with the 60s "ae" logo stamped on the lag bolt strap. It was probably part of a NEMA kit like this. I like the NEMAs with the smooth reflectors but I've never cared much for the rippled reflectors.

There should be an information label inside this on the socket or inside the head with the manufacture date. Also, if the PC is original, look at the two-digit number in the circle on the top of the PC. It's the last two digits of the year, eg. (01) is 2001 (DTL also puts the actual date on the bottom on the white sticker too).

Nice fixture.
I've always loved MV lights.

Are you going to put this up, or is it just for the light collection.

The photo cell was made in January 4, 2006

Yeah, this was one of the complete units

It is in my collection at the moment but I might put it up sometime for show

The light is probably around the same age then. There should be a label in the fixture or on the socket with the date of manufacture. Is there one? I know the AEL cobraheads have them but IDK if the NEMAs do too... This is probably one of the last MVs made then, since MV fixtures couldn't be manufactured aftet January 1, 2008.

For some odd reason there wasn't a label on the socket Confused The label inside the housing just has a wiring diagram on it.
