I know this is a strange request :D but, here goes:

I'm working on a 3D Horizons model and I'm building the walkway lights that were around the pavilion. (They may still use this style of light, I don't really remember.) Anyways, the only decent photo I have of one of these lights is here:

Does anyone have, or can get a closeup of the actual light area of the lamp? i.e. the clear area with the reflector/silver looking object inside? I'd really appreciate it as it would help me model the lamps more accurately and since they're used through out FW, I can reuse the model on other attractions. :)

Thanks! :sohappy:

I don't have any photos, or anythign specific to the exact posts they used at Epcot, but... The design style is called a bollard, and that particular design is a pretty popular one, and several companies made ones similar to it. In most cases, the lamp itself was housed in the bottom solid part, pointed stright up. The clear part held a somewhat conical reflector - it was actually parabolic inverse something or other. kind of like an upside down cone that someone had grabbed the point of and stretched it further.

You might want to try the Lightolier web site - even if they don't have that specific model, they are mostly the same design with different coverings.

I checked out the Lightolier site but didn't find anything that matched. However, I did a few searches for "bollard" and was able to find some good leads. :) Thanks for the tips!
