Yep. I believe 100w mercury. It has the flatish front. I can't wait. Very Happy

@Michael; You are getting an M-250 A2? Where from?

And this is an older M-250A2. The newer drop lens fixtures have the same reflector as the FCO fixtures now.

No, this is the newer design. The first generation has a flat front in the cast. The front of this is round like the M-250R2. And I MIGHT be getting a M-250A2 FCO. Not positive. But if it is, it'll be 100w MV. It's comming from an electrician that is a friend of my uncle's.

I mean the M-250 A2s made today have the FCO reflector for drop lens. This newer generation of the M-250 A2 has been out for a while and it used to have a different reflector for drop lens for the same generation but now they use the FCO reflector for drop lens.

Nope. AN OV-10 CLAMSHELL!!! It's mercury vapor, but I can't tell what wattage. It's either 100, 175, and a very slight chance it's 250.

Mine was because Micheal posted a link to an auction for one on ebay. xD So I bought it.

This to be exact.

Ahh. Glad to see you swapped it. I found out it's 175w mercury vapor. I'll post pics withen the hour......

Why is the M-250 A2 completly differen't from the M-250 R2? Like different top housings, different doors, everything, except for the inside components..

But why did they do that instead of sticking with one top housing like the M-400 R3/A3 or R2/A2?

Well, the M-250A2 was started before the M-250R2, so my guess is instead of changing the M-250A2 cast to accomodate a top-mounted ballast for an M-250R2, they made a new casting. Smile

Hey Mike,here's some pics you requested of the inside of my GE M-250A2.I imagine the one you will be getting will have the faceted reflector since it is a FCO fixture.
