Well, it has the wrong door.

This fixture is an example of how the NEMA tags aren't always right on a fixture. xD The Probably during it's time in service it could of lost it's door, and they just put another door up without caring about the NEMA tag. As the NEMA tag says it's 200w HPS when the fixture ITSELF Is just 100w HPS.

So don't always judge the fixture lamp type/wattage with just the NEMA tag!

I still wonder though where the original door would of went. Maybe it fell down wherever this was in service.

"Because it has a 20 on the door, that PROVES it is a 200 watt HPS"

Yeah I know they sometimes get wrong tags or replacement doors or whatever...I have a GE M-250R1 (which is actually on my streetlight display power box) and it has a 10 NEMA tag but it is actually 175 watt MV!

Oh great not that NEMA tag funny business again. [/sarcasm]

The nema tag is the newer AEL one where as the door isn't the 115 design. Did AEL make the 113 for a peroid of time before startig the 115?

The three wire ignitor found in this thing and the Photocell socket both say "American electric" But the two wire ignitor says "Thomas and Betts"

I am not sure the date on this thing how can I find it?

Does it have a name plate inside? I think T&B kept the American electric name on the PC sockets thoguh. Not sure though.

Yep the nameplate would be the best bet, the Powerlites had a external nameplate so I could date fixtures even from the ground.

There is a small thing o the reflector, it says "100 WATT HPS (S54)" And under it in small letters/numbers it says "058-71-23980" And that's it.

No label inside either.

Ballast label?

There is no ballast label. Just some text on the ballast that is hard to read.

Can you post a side profile of this? And try fitting the AEL plastic refractor on this as it should fit.

What I want to do with this fixture is first, get an AE polycarbonate refractor like the one on my unpainted 115, and then repaint this fixture. And maybe I can get a "10" NEMA tag on this instead of the 20.

I wonder where I can get a plastic AE refractor. I guess I can try that refractor place that orders that kind of stuff.

I looked a bit, and I think this 113 got taken down and replaced with a new light at a trailer park thing, with house-trailers (Not RV's, HOUSE trailers) Cause I looked on google streetview, and looked around that there were a couple AE 113's with DIRTY refractors mounted up there. So I guess this one is one of those fixtures.

I've seen some crazy lights used to light trailor parks. I've seen mercury vapor yardblasters screwed onto two by fours and cemented into the ground. Then there's and extension cord feeding it and other blasters. Talk about not to code. Plus, the blasters were only like 10 feet tall. You could probably guess that didn't work well if people could reach them with a regular ladder.

Take a picture of it and submit to the crazy/tacky lights contest.

I don't think i'm going to Florida anytime soon though.
