But I have a feeling they may be Powerlites, the ballast housing is a design similar to the Powerlite sports lighter ballast housing.

It seems that Powerlite made a lot of fixtures that we haven't yet ID'd too, I have a whole list of fixtures they've made and we've only seen a few of them.

EDIT: that url never works in the gallery so I used tinyurl Confused

Wow! That is a lot, funny how I see AEL has their name at the top of that page, they must have all of the Powerlite designs still. I wonder if they would sell them, then you could start up Powerlite again Shocked
joe_347V   [Jul 22, 2011 at 12:59 AM]
Either that or produce the designs under the 347V Electric name Shocked

There's a some fixtures in that list that sound interesting like the B2228 which sounds like it's a bigger version of the B2255 and the B2214 "New Little Giant" which is a medium base incandescent or low watt MV fixture.

Interesting, I wonder what the B2214 looks like.

Hmm, don't know much about Sylvania PowerLites but I'm interested in learning more about them. It seems though, that AEL bought out PowerLite.

Those two pages sum up Powerlite quite well, yes AEL did buy out Powerlite.
streetlight98   [Jul 26, 2011 at 10:23 PM]
I wonder if they could send me an electronic copy of a PowerLite catalog..... Idea
gailgrove   [Jul 27, 2011 at 07:32 PM]
I don't see how, the company hasn't existed for 10 years, I've inquired but they didn't have any information.
joe_347V   [Jul 27, 2011 at 08:37 PM]
I guess IF you're lucky some utility companies and contractors might have some old Powerlite catalogues stashed away.
streetlight98   [Jul 27, 2011 at 09:35 PM]
So, that doesn't mean anything. GE still has origional catalogs of their stuff dating to the 1930's! You never know, AEL may have old specs of PowerLite's.
joe_347V   [Jul 27, 2011 at 09:38 PM]
I think Niall already asked AEL judging by his last comment.
gailgrove   [Jul 27, 2011 at 10:08 PM]
Yeah, trust me, I would love to know more about Powerlite too.
streetlight98   [Jul 28, 2011 at 12:07 AM]
Sometimes they say that because they want to keep the files private. At GE the guy said he could only upload certain materials. Otherwise I would have gotten the Form 400, Form 175 and origional M-400 spec sheets. I still ended up with the '77 cobrahead catalog.
gailgrove   [Jul 28, 2011 at 07:41 PM]
I doubt it, the guy told me lots of other stuff about Powerlite, at the time though I never asked too much about Powerlite (it was two years ago).
streetlight98   [Jul 28, 2011 at 09:28 PM]
Like what?
gailgrove   [Jul 28, 2011 at 09:55 PM]
Well about AEL taking over Powerlite and producing some Powerlite designs (like the Twist-Pak) and a few other things.
joe_347V   [Jul 28, 2011 at 10:14 PM]
Well I guess aside from contacting AEL some contractors and electric supply companies might still have old Powerlite catalogues, maybe even NOS Powerlite cobras.
streetlight98   [Jul 28, 2011 at 10:30 PM]
Possible there, but until i joined the GoL, I've never even heard of Powerlite. They've only used GE Cooper and ITT/american Electric.
joe_347V   [Jul 29, 2011 at 12:06 AM]
But remember that Powerlites were mostly sold in Canada, so they weren't that well known in the US.
