NYC changed ALL of their streetlights to this around 2008.......
Now they're all gone with crappy LED's. As a kid growing up, I used to admire the different kinds and styles of streetlights in NYC from the 80's.
You, too? Gosh I loved looking at the old sodium street lights in the 2000s. You can still see a few of them out there, but it sucks that they aren't mainstream in NYC anymore.
I don’t even remember the pre 2008 street lights. i had no idea they were different.
@@wendysremix,yup! Had different kinds of manufacturers at that time. My wife is from Hyde Park, NY. When we go and spend time with her family, we'd still see different types of streetlights to this day! Amazing how streetlights from the 60s and 70s are still working in some parts of upstate NY!!
Yes pre 2008 there was a whole assortment Of older HPS lights all around the city area. Some were from the early 70s when they were just putting them up. I guess in 08 the city wanted to have a uniform type light ND get rid of all the older less efficient ones. In a short 8 years by 2016 the city started replacing all the Coopers with the new LED ones.
I live in Manhattan, these are now 99% gone, replaced by Cooper Archeon Series Medium LED Cobrahead units at 3000K.
Eric Perkins, there are replaced by LED street lights in New York City, and LED is not good for your eyes if staring too long at it.
David Tosh the measured luminance of said street lights is not at a value that would cause eye damage at normal viewing distances and angles, and with less backlight that would otherwise be seen by residents living on lower floors of nearby buildings. Being outdoors in full sun without eye protection is potentially far more damaging to human vision.
Move to europe
Im serious, i have been able to get my hands on a SOX-E 18w lamp, within 3 months. I could walk 10 mins and would see more then 300 HPS lamps and at least 50 LPS lamps
@@asherzelig221 Are you saying that the LED streetlights are better than the HPS ones?
That’s pretty cool. Never seen one like that before
Nice! I just got the same thing from eBay about a month ago (probably from the same vendor too) I haven’t hooked mine up yet. I was shocked to find that it uses an electronic ballast instead of magnetic. The guy selling these messaged me saying he has about a hundred of these in stock which is crazy!
I live in the Philippines , those HPS or Mercury vapor street lights in our area other street lights was broken other lights was blinking and those broken was replaced by LED street lights
Nice light, it was indeed made for NYC. The light weighs 12-13 pounds if I remember correctly. It would be cool if you could get the special Ripley photocells that NYC also used! They are sprayed orange on half the body, and the "eye" faces up in order to not get triggered by city and headlights.
Are these the same lights that have the red lights where the photocell is. I remember seeing a lot of those when I visited NYC.
@@mvdude94 , the "red light" is a fire alarm/box indicator. Born in NYC, 1980. As a kid growing up, they used to have fire alarm/box indicator on top the streetlight pole or on the arm with a pipe sticking out to hold the orange cup. NYC decided to "upgrade" their fire alarm system and add the indicator on top of the streetlight itself. The red light that comes off the indicator receives power from the light fixture itself and the photocell is now on top of the light. This happened around 2005ish.
I use that same ballast in a small floodlight fixture with 150-watt PSMH, and the metal halide lamp runs up to full brightness extremely fast. I bought a few of these ballasts a few years back for like $10 each from one vendor.
So much better than the led bullshit. pretty much all of them in my area got replaced with them
And also they are terrible pieces of shit.
@@connorbeaudry7241 Agreed, I despise the monstrosities.
I mostly despise LED streetlights because they’re replacing HID, have a horrible glare or they do a piss poor job at lighting up the road. I dread to see the day where every single HID lamp is replaced with LED.
Awesome awesome light. A dying breed for sure
From what I told, you can also run a 150w PSMH bulb, because the ballast can run 150w PSMH bulbs.
I see you have a projector in your room. Can you do a video on it?
Its rare i see fixtures with electronic ballast, but they are easy to distinguish. If a bulb doesnt flicker on camera, its likely that its bring run on an E-Ballast
The Hatch ballast used in your fixture is for an M102, 150w metal halide lamp, as the label says on it. Will also run a 100-volt S56 HPS lamp.
A 150w M102 pulse start metal halide lamp is actually electrically interchangeable with a 150w S56 high pressure sodium lamp since both of these lamps run at 100v 1.8a. Note that running a standard 150w S55 high pressure sodium lamp will be severely underdriven on this ballast and overheat this ballast since these lamps are designed to run at 55v 3.2a. In addition, some lamp catalogs mention that 150w S55 high pressure sodium is NOT interchangeable with 150w S56 high pressure sodium in the same way that 1000w H36 mercury vapor is NOT interchangeable with 1000w H34 mercury vapor.
i think my city Philadelphia has those exact same lights
Kinda has a GE M250R2 look to it. Also did you know Cooper Lighting has just been acquired by Philips/Signify. Great video!
Actually, it was accuired by Eaton.
stevedouglas84 Yea it was but Eaton sold the lighting business to Signify and it is now called Cooper Lighting Solutions.
An you do a video of high to wire up street lights to cords? Because I’m looking to get a high pressure cobra street light but I don’t know how to wire it
The arc tube length looks like a Philips SON-T 150W
Yes please
Does it look way too yellow on video?
HPS usually is yellow at the start but quickly turns into a more salmon like color once warmed up.
Cool! I love the ovz!
Wait I just remembered I’ve seen these on eBay! It’s pretty much an ovh if you really think about it but I already have 3 of those.
I’m getting one of these
@@thelast1900 cool! Which one the ovz? or the ovh
I’m getting the ovz New York City Edition
@@thelast1900 ah thought so. I would like a regular ovz at some point. I already have 4 OVH’s and two OV-25 silverliners 400W MV fixtures that i got off ebay. All the OVH’s i’ve gotten are from damaged street light poles.
Where did I learn that does high pressure sodium light Street light interference really exist
High pressure sodium takes 4000 V of electricity to start up because of igniter and ballast
My town just took about 14 thousand down, now replaced with LED
Ew LED
My city is replacing almost every light that goes out to LED. Yeah, on the city's website, we have 13,000 street lights. Main roads were upgraded, some neighborhoods have been also, they stopped the main upgrading, but now what? Are we going to be restless all night all because the city cares more about the roads lit up than us humans and melatonin suppression?
@@majortom4300 Except if it's the right color and some newer ones are actually warmer
ElevatorMan5482 ElevExperiencing Productions I don’t even think the roads are that well lit up with the new LED tbh. I think the Holophane roadway flood HPS lights did a better job by putting out more light everywhere.
@@exoticcar5482 I am not sure about what wattage they were, but they could have been 400w because I have seen the exact kind of fixtures before and those exact looking ones were 400w.
Where do you get your streetlights from
Where did you get it?
What happens if I put a 150W S55 high pressure sodium bulb on a S56 electronic ballast? I'm just curious.
Most likely it would treat it as faulty bulb and cut off
Peobably it will run brighter because 150W S55 HPS bulb arc tube same size same as european 100W SON bulb.
The city of New York or New York city they do not have or no longer have these fixtures on its streets anymore and because why New York city had converted all of the Cooper ovx fixtures were replaced by LED smart street lights
Weird how it comes in a traffic signal box
How much did you pay for that?
Nice fixture, do you have any dimmable HPS in the US?
Thanks, No we don't here in the US, at least that I have ever seen.
@@Parrot175 , there's a couple versions in upstate NY.
Are u monetized?
Ain't anybody talking about the red thing in the Street light
that guy sounds like ernie or kermit the frog from sesame street.
Fr💀😭
@@spicyzzboyzz4381 Fr?
@@andrewjones8616 it means " for real "
how you got that light
This was an eBay find many years ago, eBay and local listings are a great place to look.
Are the special hps bulbs hard to find or more expensive
No they are around 13 to 14 dollars on eBay
What are the drainage things used for
I want this led light
STI LAMPIONI SONO SOPRA CASA MIA🍺🍻👍
This doesn't look like an OVZ. This looks like an OVG.
This is nyc cooper ovg is not ovz but it just onl y nyc thank u
It has a different body than the regular OVZ, but they still call it an OVZ.
OVG
It’s not an OVG. This is a special order light that NYC used before they went LED. It’s the OVG body with a modified OVZ refractor including a electronic ballast. On the paper work and fixture information that comes with these NOS lights it will say “OVZ” at the end of the model number
@@Wired_Capital The OVG is basically the larger companion of the more common OVZ.
ScienceGuy722
Okay but did you read what I said?
@@Wired_Capital oh
@@Wired_Capital That can't be right. Here is a picture of an OVZ:
