The time in Seattle is... Decorative clock outside a watch store in downtown Seattle, Washington, with an older M400A FCO on one of the 1950's decorative poles in the background. The clock lighting was incandescent, then changed to CFL before the clock was removed (one of the lamps has failed in the bottom cluster). Keywords: Lighting_History

This lantern doesn't looks different than the GE M400A2 FCO we have in Israel.

similar on the outside,diffrences are not immediately apparently from the outside.

There are more differences noticable from the outside.

Like the Latch. (A1 had Spring, A2 had Bail)
And the location of the PC socket.

Which would be HARDER to tell apart is the M-400 split door and the M-400 a1. I think they both came out in FCO too.

Yes Dor123....those are the older version the GE M-400A1s and the location of the photocell and the front latch is different...

Ian, identifying the difference between the split door and the M-400A1 is a lot easier than you think!!! I have asked MercuryVapor123 to take pics of the differences between those 2......it's easier than you think...you have to be close enough to see the difference outside! I hope soon Mercuryvapor123 will take pic of the split door and the M-400A1 side by side (and include the M-400A2....making 3 fixture shot!) I also asked him to take a pic of the first 3 generations of OV-25. He didn't recognize he actually has the first, the 2nd AND the 3rd generation of OV-25s, until I pointed out the differences....

that sure looks cool i wish i could have them on my street !!!

Notice the M400A is externally wired overhead to the next light up the street ...there are a lot of these downtown that are wired like this, due to failures of the wiring in the underground circuits in places.

There's some lights here like that too, although they tend to be sloppy with the wiring.
