Newest Addition: A GE M-1000! Got this baby today, from a parking lot that used to be FILLED with them. They already trashed a lot of them but three were still up. There was a team there demolishing a whole building next to Colorado Mills that used to be an Auto Dealership, there was a BUNCH of these M-1000's up behind the area. They still had three of them up since all the others were demolished and trashed. But I went there today and then they were nice to take it down for me! So I got this thing, I didn't get the other two though, those will just get trashed like the others. I got a nice score though!! Keywords: American_Streetlights

Nice light.
gailgrove   [Feb 08, 2012 at 11:32 PM]
Cool! I only know of two M1000s in all of Brampton!
joe_347V   [Feb 09, 2012 at 12:08 AM]
Now you see why I thought your collection was so O_o Laughing

Anyways nice light, I only know of these M-1000s here.
streetlight98   [Feb 09, 2012 at 02:09 AM]
Sweet score! I know of some M-1000s around here too.
LilCinnamon   [Feb 09, 2012 at 04:37 AM]
I think this has the same top housing as the M-400.. (Original M-400) As it looks very similar to that. Except for this being newer with the newer slipfitter, the housing looks the exact same shape.
joe_347V   [Feb 09, 2012 at 05:35 AM]
On a slightly related note I actually wonder if a B2255 could be considered a medium-large fixture, the reflector on them fits 1kW lamps.
mercuryvaporrocks   [Feb 09, 2012 at 11:40 AM]
I've seen a few M-1000's in New Kensington PA that look exactly like this light.
LilCinnamon   [Feb 09, 2012 at 06:07 PM]
Could this be a 700 watt mercury vapor fixture? How would I Be able to find the WATTAGE of this thing? They might of put the wrong lamp and I dunno what the right lamp wattage would be.
mercuryvaporrocks   [Feb 09, 2012 at 06:24 PM]
I would try using a 1000 watt mercury vapor lamp.
streetlight98   [Feb 09, 2012 at 07:42 PM]
Well, if it's 700 watts, you'll have quite an adventure finding a low cost lamp. Neutral
mercuryvaporrocks   [Feb 09, 2012 at 07:44 PM]
Good luck finding a 700 watt mercury vapor lamp nowadays, Eye Lighting is the only company that offers them and they're very expensive.
streetlight98   [Feb 09, 2012 at 07:50 PM]
I'd go with the 1000w merc lamp like Alex sudgested. My guess is that the MH lamp either needs to be "broken in" more so it ignites easier or you have a 700 watt ballast that can't ignite the 1000w lamp. You'll need a 1000w MV lamp to find out for sure though....
joe_347V   [Feb 09, 2012 at 11:04 PM]
Well there's a GE 700w on fleabay for $70 Shocked Rolling Eyes but I would wait before getting one, I think around a month or two ago the was a 700w Westy for 9 bucks and there were probably some left.

Awesome, a classic beast!
LilCinnamon   [Feb 10, 2012 at 03:42 PM]
This thing isn't as heavy and big as you think, it's pretty small for a large fixture. It has the SAME top housing as the original M-400! And it's three feet long just like the OV-25 or M-400.

It's technically an M-400 with a bigger reflector and different door, making it an M-1000.

I am surprised this isn't heavy.
gailgrove   [Feb 10, 2012 at 04:42 PM]
Dimensions and weight?
LilCinnamon   [Feb 10, 2012 at 05:43 PM]
Like I said it is 3 feet long and has the same top housing design as the Original M-400.

And this probably weighs about... 40 to 50 pounds. I guess.
joe_347V   [Feb 10, 2012 at 07:17 PM]
That's around the same size as my Powerlite B2255, and I guess if mine had a 1kW ballast it would probably be around 50 pounds too. Shocked

The M-1000 has a bigger reflector and refractor though.
LilCinnamon   [Feb 11, 2012 at 01:08 AM]
I got two more M-1000's, but the surprise was that the OTHER two lights didn't have the original ballast like the first! And the line volts of the replacement ballasts are 480 volts so the parking lot was wired for 480, which means my other light was probably a 240x480 ballast.
joe_347V   [Feb 11, 2012 at 01:10 AM]
Shocked Shocked Do they have any stickers inside and are the replacement ballasts multitap?
