Newest addition to my colletion: M-400 R2!
Here is my newest additon. Got this from the M-400 R2 intersection. If you remember that.

Pretty much I dunno how long it has been laying there, but they took it down looong ago I dunno if they will put a new light up or what.

So pretty much, I went to the Wadsworth/285 intersection, went to some workers, asked them when they were taking the old streetlights down.. Turns out they or me don't know if they even WILL...

But anyway, they gave me their project manager's number, I called him on the phone, and he said "if you want a light now, there is a light (insert directions here) and you can take it off the pole" So I went over there, and surprised that I passed this light MANY MANY times when it was down and never noticed it! It was laying up on a fence. And it was on the pole. So I took the light and brought it home. Haven't tested it yet. Already cleaned it out.

Since I have an old picture when the light was still in SERVICE: Check it out:

The one circled is now mine, as you already read on the picture.

I dunno what I am gonna do with it, I am debating whether I could trade it for Tony's M-400 R3 MH fixture, or if I should keep this...

Nice light, I'm hoping to get a M400R2 shortly when some come down in a freeway widening project, they are 400 watt HPS. I'd trade it if I where you if Tony offered you one of his fixtures, he could use a M400R2 and you could use a MH light!

Nice light. The M-400r2 are plentiful here too. Only the ones here are all 400w. The state used M-250R2s for 250w. Now they use all FCO M-400 for 400 and 250w in new installations, but continue to install drop lens in drop lens installations. i'd personally trade this. That way you don't have to exchange money (just may the shipping for this and he'll pay the shipping for the M-400). That makes it easier.
LilCinnamon   [Oct 05, 2011 at 12:13 AM]
Yeah. I am still debating. xD But If I DO decide to trade it, I am gonna wait until he gets a refractor for the fixture anyway.

Nice light, there's some M-400R2s that are going to be removed in favour of highmast lights.
LilCinnamon   [Oct 05, 2011 at 01:40 AM]
You should probably snag them! What wattage?
Antstar85   [Oct 05, 2011 at 01:43 AM]
I'm ordering 3 refractors by Friday. Wink
LilCinnamon   [Oct 05, 2011 at 01:52 AM]
When will you get them? Right away?

If I trade you this I will probably put my spare M-400 R2 400w HPS ballast in it because if I do that, I will have three 250w HPS ballasts and 3 400w HPS ballasts. If that is fine with you.
Antstar85   [Oct 05, 2011 at 01:58 AM]
The last time I ordered a refractor, it took about 2 weeks so I'm hoping by the end of the month latest to have them.

Also, that's fine if you put a 400 watt in this fixture, I have a 400 watt GE MH ballast and will probably convert this to MH.
LilCinnamon   [Oct 05, 2011 at 02:09 AM]
Maybe if it's more conveniant I can send this ballast-less. But if you want a ballast I'll put the 400w one in there. (The GE one. With all components)

And how do you order refractors?
joe_347V   [Oct 05, 2011 at 02:10 AM]
I'm pretty sure you can order them at the supply house.
LilCinnamon   [Oct 05, 2011 at 02:12 AM]
I wonder if it's possible to order one at graybar.
streetlight98   [Oct 05, 2011 at 02:14 AM]
More than likely.....
LilCinnamon   [Oct 06, 2011 at 09:22 AM]
But as you see in the picture below, the fixture circled in the picture, is the one I now have. They took the light down for some reason, I am not sure why they did. As you see in the picture it was on it's own pole and NOT part of the traffic light setup, there were four like that, might of been more, I don't remember.

I wonder if they will put a new light. OR fix the fixture that is missing the door.
