- This is my American Electric Lighting 115 Streetlight. This fixture is a pre-ban mercury fixture from 2004. Recently these were discontinued back in October 2022, this video should hopefully spread some light on what this wonderful luminaire and do it justice. Enjoy and subscribe for more videos in the future! Also be sure to check out my street light collection and other photos at www.lighting-gallery.net/gall....
I like the american electric 115 cobra heads, are my favorites
Mercury vapor lights,especially the clear ones have always been my favorite ones
I love your videos!!! I been a big fan of Orange Sodium Cobra Head Street Lights! I love them so much! The fact you are showing them off shows me how much your awesome!
But this is a mercury light not high pressure sodium.
@@polarslightssignals2742 Ohhh Ok Well that too.
As of 2023, the only two Luminaires are still available, and they are: Crouse-Hinds (also Cooper Electric) OVZ, 250 watt LPS or 100 watt HPS lamp, and this one, American Electric Series 115 as shown on this video. Too bad that General Electric discontinued M-250A (Power Door) and M-250R (single door unit) at least 10 years ago.
Cool fixture
Nice fixture!
I might convert my hps 115 to mv
It was only the drop lens anyway, because they ran out of stock briefly. “Supply chain” stuff. This is a seriously high demand fixture for them, especially from my area and my state in general. The 125 might not come back, but the 115 is back.
The 115 and all of the other HID fixtures they sell are gone too. (Series 11 NEMA, the post-tops, and the floods ACP)
@@HIDLad001 yeah they brought it back briefly then discontinued everything. A shame.
No way it's discontinued!!! I'm glad I have though, and the 115 that was new like from 2019 in my city are now replaced wit those ugly ass led's. And my 115 was made in 2015 (fresh out the box brand new) and have the little vent detail on top
Well, sad to say, these where brought back for a few weeks but now, they're entirely gone
ITT/Thomas and Betts/American Electric had 115's since the early 90's. I remember seeing tons of these as a kid in NYC for both HPS and Mercury Vapor. FYI..........
No ITT introduced the 113 in the mid 1980s and it was made during the 90s when thomas and betts bought out American electric in the mid 1990s. In 2003 it was redesigned when acuity brands bought out thomas and betts and remade into the 115. The 115 was introduced in 2003 so you are probably thinking of the 113.
@@polarslightssignals2742 , probably. They all look the same to me with a slight difference.
I got a hps version of it. Sometime I need to make a video & to I definitely need to make a video of the Holophane HMST
Note: Do not look directly at the light. I actually prefer these coated bulbs over the clear bulbs. Especially for indoor lighting. They also look better in outdoor lighting. They have a better color and color rendering index. Clear bulbs typically have a 5700K-7000K color temperature. While coated bulbs have typically have a 3700K-4100K color temperature.
I am thinking about getting one of these in the HPS version to start off my streetlight collection. Do you have any advice for converting it to 175w mercury vapor?
Get a mercury one.
@@Mirroxaphene You know where I could find one?
@@HIDLad001 dude I had no idea but the mercury version of these 115s is stinking rare. For a “common fixture” I’m having a hell of a time even locating them in the wild.
@@Mirroxaphene Around here, I only see the 113s in mercury vapor. Never have I seen a 115 in mercury vapor.
I think same model is still being use in pueblo and could be very last one in service.
Are these powder coated or painted? It kind of doesn’t look like powder coating.
I said in tye video it's not powder coated.
how did you get permission to put that bracket up?
Hi. Im looking just the refractor for my american electric 115 that got damage during hurricane ian. I check online and nothing is available. Is similar the one you havein the video. If someone knows something,please let me know. Thanks.
As far as I know, AE does not make those refractors anymore, and finding one on eBay is really hard.
Yes, American electric apparently still makes the 115 in drop lens as of now, so you could try and contact them. But this is a video, so we should be talking about this light
@@ALT-9167 I thought they discontinued the "refractor version" of the 115. Are they the same thing?
[HIDLad001]
@@HIDLad001 Yes, The refractor version and the full cutoff version is the same
do you have a spare 100 watt ball for a mercury vapor you are not using
No unfortunately I need 100 W lamps. I have special rare fixtures that need them.
I just did a quick search on eBay & saw that there are DOZENS of 100W mercury bulbs for sale on eBay :-)
It’s not discontinued lmao, they had a brief shortage of the glass and it’s back uploaded on the site 😂
If you go back onto the site it's discontinued. Thats not true.
Yea it’s super discontinued. Really incredible as I was certain these antique fixtures were going to be made for the next 1,000 years :-(
The 115 discontinued in October?. It was actually discontinued in 2020 due to the spec sheet.
That's an error because I have a buddy who has a bunch of them from 2022 that have never been used. Also the utilities up here were still installing them brand new up until recently.
@@polarslightssignals2742 It was probably discontinued then and then came back in later 2020. But the nema heads and post tops are long discontinued and will probably never come back.
@@polarslightssignals2742 Also there are now 115s under the Lithonia Lighting brand now, Which is owned by the same company.
@@polarslightssignals2742 The Lithonia Lighting ones are definitely not discontinued tho. Those are probably just rebadged 115s.
Do you have any ge m400 fcos
No.
I'm sad that no more company's make HID streetlighting. Now just LED stuff. correct me if I'm wrong.
Cooper Eaton lighting makes hps stuff still
@@polarslightssignals2742 oh ok. is the GE m250r2 is discontinued in 2017
@@larschapman4998it was discontinued in 2020.
a question, can you sell it on ebay this lamp? jeje
No this light is for my collection. I collect to preserve information and preserve these fixtures. Not sell them for profit or because someone wants one.
@@polarslightssignals2742 ok
I hope nobody steals your lights do to not at your private home..also. Does landlord dont mind you drill holes in his walls
Judging by the video & color, this fixture is a real piece of crap. Not a complete piece of crap , but mostly a piece of crap.
