This isn't a GE model, but I unfortunately have no clue who made this. The GE Powerfloods have a pretty distinctive design.

Please check out my newly-updated website! McCann Lighting Company is where my street light collection is displayed in detail.

Looks like an early '80s McGraw-Edison flood to me...remember seeing these back in the day. Westinghouse also made a flood that looked like this for a short time before the sale to Cooper.

Your mission - should you choose to accept it - is to save unique and rare HID lighting before it's all scrapped.

Long live Mercury Vapor and Incandescent street lighting!

There are two kinds of light  -  the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

Quote from CreeRSW207 on 10 Nov 2019 at 16:06 Fred the floodlight. Sounds good to us One of our big 1000W mercury lamps is called Freddie, after Freddie Mercury..! The other one is Brian (see where we're going with this.?!) Some of the lanterns have names as well, for example the Philips SRS201 is Anton, after Anton Philips and the Thorn Gamma 6 is Gemma, for no particular reason except it's similar to Gamma
