M-250R1 Mounted with Glass Lens
Mounted with my M-250A's glass lens. Looks great like this. I'd love to find this light a deep glass lens of its own. It didn't have a lens when I bought it on ebay. According to the catalog number it originally had a glass lens but I don't know if it was a deep or shallow lens. I prefer the deep like above.

Very sunny today! allowed for some nice clear pics. Very windy too! If you took the time to look at the pictures, you'll see the clouds changed position very quickly and the tree branches are all curved to the right with the wind.

That's the one that typically came with the luminaire.

Ah thanks. I've seen these with both the shallow and deep glass (shallow glass actually seems more common here).

I've seen a lot of them with Westinghouse OV-15 refractors too.

Hmm that's interesting. I've seen one with an acrylic OV-15 lens. On my grandparents' street. Unfortunately, NGrid group-replaced my grandparents' street's mercs with HPS light. The whole street had nice bright 100W MV lamps because I reported them all over the past few years and they've been relamped and were nice and bright, so NGrid wasted 30 perfectly good 100W MV fixtures. The worst part was that I didn't get any of them. Sad
