from 2002 it appears... I heard the Thomas & Betts lights with capacitor ballasts (like CWA) didn't last long, at least with the MV ones. I wonder if the same is true for HPS ballasts with capacitors? Here there are a lot of 113s with reactor ballasts but very few 125s.

Interesting! I might convert this one to 250W MV since I have a 250W MH ballast I recently found from autozone! The ballast that's in here isn't mouned well

Yeah looks like it was made on November 14, 2002. Not sure how reliable AEL ballasts are though, it could be possible that the ballast was replaced because the ignitor died though.

Yeah the original ignitor is still there too! On both fixtures with replacement ballasts, I will test them just for the heck of it

yeah the retrofit done on my M-400A2 wasn't too swift either. they reused the GE ballast bracket which was nice but the cap was just floating around inside lol.

Looks like they were lazy. Razz Ballast kits usually include cap straps.
