Oh I thought the bolt-hole pattern wouldn't be the same.

I know collectors often frown on the practice but it's possible with some ingenuity to fit a 3rd party ballast in a GE luminaire. Now you might need to make or modify existing brackets but as long as the new ballast is around the same size as the old one it should work. I had a Venture 175w MH ballast in my Crimefighter for a few year until I was able to finally refurbish the OEM ballast. Now for a SA-201, a HPS reactor ballast (any brand) or a HX 175w MV ballast pulled from a yardlight should work in most cases.

Thanks for all the information, comments and helpful advice. I was able to convert this light to. 70Watt HPS.
After several bouts of inclement weather I was finally able to reinstall it today.
It works Perfectly!!!
PS: His other light was a 170 W MV. The bulb was burned out so we replaced it and it also works.
Thanks Again!!

Glad to hear you got it working again, you'll save quite a bit of power with the 70w HPS too.

Glad to hear it, I love Wago connectors, watch out for the knock-offs though, they're not always easy to spot.
