Sorry Ian, you are wrong on this one, this actually David F is right...it is an OVX with the feature of a Swing-down Ballast Bridge.....

Why is the reflector the original OV-15 though? It's not what you find on an OVX.. Unless they made reflectors that way before.

Dude....look at the ballast closely...it has the word "Cooper" on it...

That is totally an OVX

Reflectors can be replaced you know.

I should of known this was an OVX. xD The screw holding in the reflector was a dead giveaway. OVS's had the little clip under the latch holding it in like my L-150.

This must be a REALLY early OVX. One of the first ones out.

BTW, what is the Swing-Down ballast bridge?

It's a feature when you can easily remove and replace a ballast by simply unscrewing one screw and the whole ballast assembly swings out and then unhook the ballast tray off the hidge and you put the new ballast hinge........it's kinda like a powerdoor.....note the cap on the picture is attached to the ballast assembly and not the body.....

Notice it has a connector, so you can unplug the old ballast and plug the new replacement ballast!

From what I know, its only available on OVD, OVF, OVY and OVX......

This is the older version of the ballast "Tray" that is in the current fixtures? Or is the OVD/OVF/OVY have a different feature?

This is the same ballast tray the current fixtures have as an option.

A little different design though. The trays were more trays, not linear like this version. But basically same thing, yes.

Odd it has a vertically mounted cap, most cobraheads I know of horizontally mount their caps.

This was an FCO due to the reflector being this way.

maybe so...no way to know for sure,for all we know it could have had a Drop lense.

Being what way?

By the reflector having a different design. The FCO reflectors had the older OV-15 design while the drop lens has what we all know. At least that's what I think, because all three of my OVX's are made in August 2001 and the two FCO ones have this reflector while the drop lens one had the other reflector.

@Michael were you refering to my comment or someone elses?

@ Ian, maybe.
@ Devonte; i was referring to Ian's comment, "This was an FCO due to the reflector being this way."

I don't really agree, we have thousands and thousands of FCO OVX AND OVZ. (OVX owned by state of MD and OVZ owned by BGE) and they do have the "Mickey Mouse ears design" on the reflectors.......

Yeah now I see that, but the thing is why do my two FCO OVX have the other reflector? The reflector that is on this picture. It had to be an option...

This reflector might deliver a different light distribution than the other style.
