I have always liked these recessed HID fixtures
I remember the mall in Milford, CT had a whole bunch of these leading up to the entrance of the mall (Next to Caldoor or Bradlees)
They were alot bigger then the one in your picture I think they might of been 400W (Don't really know for sure though as I was not into lights as much as I am now)

Yeah they're awesome, had always wanted one as a kid.. this one could be upgraded to 400W no problem with a bigger ballast box its 2ft by 2ft

nice! I've always preferred the recessed HIDs that look like this. .

In fact, there are some of those around here that are out of service at the "Americana Expo Center" in Providence, RI. see here. They weren't on 2X2 panels though, they were basically like recessed cans with clear flat glass lenses and the reflector was the size of a highbay. The building used to be a local Grocery chain called Almac's but closed when they went bankruppt. they converted the 8ft T12s to T8 but left one 6ft fixture original since they probably didn't bother coverting the one 6ft fixture. It had EOL tubes but one fainly glowed. The place was really ghetto but it was cool to see the old mercs over where the produce area was and the parking lot was lit with 400W HPS OVMs with an overhead feed connected right to a telephone pole, not to the building, as the lights must run dusk-to-dawn.

The automatic doors had vintage stanley IN/ DO NOT ENTER and OUT/ DO NOT ENTER decals on them, probably from the late 70s-80s.

Nice find! There was one of these a Restore a while back but it was 250w MV/MH. I think it also had louvers instead of a glass lens.

Now that you say 2FT x 2FT I think the ones I am thinking about were the same size (Knowing what I know now and by memory some of them were MV and others had MH lamps, I was only about 10-11 when I saw them so this was around 1994-1995) but sadly they are all gone as the mall was remodeled years ago

Can you post a picture of the fixture with the glass cover off?

@ Joe; cool! never seen a louvered HID one.
@LampLover; yep HID troffers are generally all 2' X2' to fit in the standard celing grid (though larger buildings tend to use 2X4 tiles)
joe_347V   [Oct 30, 2013 at 02:15 AM]
@Mike, yeah it had a 3x3 cell louver similar to what a fluorescent fixture would have. Only difference is that it also had glass above the louver to contain any lamp explosions.

ahh so like those parabolic fluorescent troffers? we have 18-cell 2X4 troffers (6 squares by 3 squares) at my school. They're 3X F32T8.
