Looks like a homemade arm to me, I've never heard of a factory arm that mounts with two lag bolts through the pipe.

Definetly homemade. It's better than using those stupid mounting flanges on the housing.
This actually looks pretty good.....

I used a pair of conduit straps to mount my homemade arm on the wall instead of drilling...I think it looks better than drilling through the pipe.
And I never really liked those mounting flanges...they should have just included a very short mounting arm in the box.

Yeah. I don't like those mounting flanges either.
Do the NEMA heads have the flanges too? I know the GE don't

I believe they don't.

the mounting flanges don't phase me...though i tried to cut them off one of my blasters and cracked the slipfitter.
However Hubbell did make a rather strange yard fixture....12" Refractor with a Mounting Flange AND nema like latches for the refractor!

No, actually NEMAs don't, just the fake ones.

That's good. The only companies that still make real NEMA heads are AEL, GE and Howard Lighting.
GE doesn't offer glass or MH though.

Oh yes. i was thinking their's had the mounting flange, but only the Eternalume does......

Does anyone still make a glass bucket assembly?
gailgrove
[Oct 03, 2011 at 02:16 AM]
AEL has it as an option.

Anyone ask for a quote on a MH NEMA with a glass bucket, must be quite expensive compared to the cheapo yardlights.
streetlight98
[Oct 03, 2011 at 02:19 AM]
I'd guess $150 to $200 dollars.
gailgrove
[Oct 03, 2011 at 02:20 AM]
No way, a cobra like the 115 only costs about $100, no way a NEMA could cost more than a cobra.
streetlight98
[Oct 03, 2011 at 02:22 AM]
A HPS cobrahead with a plastic lens would cost that, but a MH cobra with a glass lens would cost up to doulbe that. The cobra glass itself is $75.

I've gotten FCO glass for two bucks a piece before.
gailgrove

That's only if you buy it as a part which always costs a lot more, AEL likely buys them for $10 a piece since they order so many.
