RIP Another MV M-250A2 FCO

This light has been burnt out for a few months (I never reported it) and was recently replaced by a HPS M-250R2. This light was wired for 100w MV (all the M-250A2 FCOs NECo used had 100/175W ballasts. GE always ships multi-wattage fixtures wired for the lower wattage (100w MV in this case) so most of these stayed 100W but there are a few 175W ones floating around.)

The photocell is brown so this was last serviced in the late 90s to the mid-2000s (probably more like the late 90s). I don't think this was a dayburner. I find that the mercs serviced after the late 90s tend to just go out after a while. This was pretty dim for a while before it bit the dust. It probably just needed a lamp, but oh well. :-(
