[edit] Cooper/Crouse-Hinds

• L150 (70-400 watts)

NOTE: Had two different-sized versions available. One was for 70-250 watts, the other (also referred to as the L250) used 200-400 watt lights. These luminaires retained the Westinghouse designations; OV-15 and OV-25, respectively.

• OVD (200-400 watts)

NOTE: Semicutoff fixture. This fixture uses the same glass that also appears on the Westinghouse OV-25 Silverliner and Tudor, Crouse-Hinds L250 (aka the "big" L150) and OVM.

• OVF (200-400 watts)

NOTE: Full-cutoff fixture.

• OVG (50-250 watts)

NOTE: Cutoff fixture.

• OVH (50-250 watts)

NOTE: Full-cutoff fixture.

• OVL (700-1000 watts)

NOTE: Was originally the Westinghouse OV-50 Silverliner. It retains the same basic design of the OV-50, except it is now painted in a light grey finish (the standard color scheme for most new luminaires manufactured after 1970). Cooper still uses the OV-50 designation for its Canadian versions.

• OVM (200-400 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the "big" L150, predecessor to the OVX and OVD.

• OVS (70-250 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the "small" L150, predecessor to the OVZ.

• M100 (100-175 watts)

NOTE: A full-cutoff companion to the M250, also believed to be the first such fixture.

• M150 (50-250 watts)

NOTE: This PowrDoor luminaire, noted for its boxy profile, was introduced in 1980 as a companion to the M250A. In 1986, it was renamed the M250A2, and continues to use that designation today.

• M250 (1959-1970)/M250R (1971-1985)/M250R2 (1986-present) (50-250 watts)

NOTE: Introduced in 1959, redesigned in 1971 (as the M250R) and 1986 (as the M250R2).

• M250A (1967-1985)/M250A2 (1986-present) (50-250 watts)

NOTE: This PowrDoor luminaire was introduced in 1967 as the smaller companion to the M400A. It was redesigned in 1986 and renamed the M250A2.

• M400 (1959-1970)/M400R2 (1986-1996)/M400R3 (1997-present) (200-400 watts)

NOTE: Introduced in 1959, this single-door luminaire was discontinued around 1970.From 1970 to 1986, the M-400 was virtually identical to the M-400A with the exception of having a non-vented door held in place with a simple spring latch. The ballast components were mounted on the top housing. In 1986, it was revived as the M400R2, with a TuDor-esque flat profile to distinguish it from the M400A2 PowrDoor. The current version (introduced in 1997 as the M400R3) looks similar to a Thomas/Betts 125 except for a slightly bulkier housing and a bail-type latch.

• M400A (1967-1985)/M400A2 (1986-1996)/M400A3 (1997-present) (200-400 watts)

NOTE: This PowrDoor luminaire was introduced in 1967 as the larger companion to the M250A. A full-cutoff version of this luminaire was introduced in 1975. In 1986, it was renamed the M400A2, with the arrival of the single-door M400R2. The current version (introduced in 1997 as the M400A3) looks similar to a Thomas/Betts 325 except for a slightly bulkier housing and a bail-type latch.

[edit] Joslyn

• MV111 (100-250 watts)

NOTE: Remote-ballasted fixture, the smaller companion to the MV131. The "MV" designation is said to stand for "Mercury Vapor," and the majority of all Joslyn luminaires still use mercury lights.

• MV131 (250-400 watts)

NOTE: Remote-ballasted fixture, the larger companion to the MV111.

• MV121 (100-250 watts)

NOTE: The smaller companion to the MV141. It looks like a spaceship with a refractor stuck underneath.

NOTE: This very rare fixture was the largest member of the Unistyle family.

• Unidoor 175/250 (100-250 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the Unistyle 175/250.

• Unidoor 400 (200-400 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the Unistyle 400.

Unistyle luminaires are known for their arched top and sloped front end, while their Unidoor successors have a boxy profile. The 175 designation is used for the smaller versions of both styles by most people, but some use the 250 designation, since they were capable of light sizes of up to 250 watts.

[edit] ITT/Thomas & Betts/American Electric/Lithonia Lighting

• OV-12 (100-250 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the OV-10, predecessor to the OV-15. Introduced in 1960. This fixture looks like a shrunken-down OV-50.

• OV-14B (100-250 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the OV-10, predecessor to the OV-15. Introduced in 1957. It looks like a smaller version of the 1957 design of OV-25. Also those were mostly used in Canada when the United States had the OV-12 but the OV-14B can be found in the USA but is quite rare.

• OV-15 (100-250 watts)

NOTE: Replaced the OV-12 and OV-14B as the smallest Silverliner. Introduced in 1965 and redesigned in 1979. The Crouse-Hinds L150 was originally designated as an OV-15. This fixture continues Canadian production as the Cooper OV-15.

• OV-15 TuDor (100-250 watts)

NOTE: Introduced in 1970, this split-door luminaire featured a flatter profile and was designed to compete directly with the General Electric M250A Powr/Door luminaire.

• OV-25 (250-400 watts)

NOTE: Mid-sized Silverliner, and the most popular streetlight fixture of all-time. Introduced in 1957, redesigned in 1964 and again in 1979. This is believed to be the first-ever integral-ballasted fixture. A remote-ballasted version was also available, with a truncated back as its most notable feature. The Crouse-Hinds L250 (or "big" L150) was originally designated as an OV-25. This fixture continues Canadian production as the Cooper OV-25.

• OV-25 TuDor (250-400 watts)

NOTE: Introduced in 1970, this split-door luminaire featured a flatter profile and was designed to compete directly with the General Electric M400A Powr/Door luminaire.

• OV-50 (700-1000 watts)

NOTE: The largest Silverliner, introduced in 1963. Adopted fins in the mid-1960s. This fixture continues U.S. production as the Cooper OVL, and it also continues Canadian production as the Cooper OV-50.

Silverliner luminaires that have been rebuilt and painted light grey are referred to as "Greyliners"/"Grayliners." Usually, they include the single-door OV-15 and OV-25 Silverliners, and the OV-50 was also switched to a Greyliner scheme when Cooper Lighting bought out Westinghouse's streetlighting division in 1982. Its immediate successor, the Cooper OVL, is also considered to be a Greyliner. Although other Cooper/Crouse-Hinds luminaires, like the OVM/OVS and OVX/OVZ, use the grey color scheme, they are not referred to as Greyliners.
