This video is interesting because as a kid I was fascinated with the streetlights. And as I gotten older I'm now fascinated with the Metal-Halide & Mercury Vapor Bulbs. It's interesting you went and got a streetlight and put together a Metal-Halide Ballast with selection of Bulbs.
This General Electric, M-400A must be in the between late 1969 to 1985, since the location to put the photo cell is at the back of the street light fixture. From 1986 to early 2000s, they still make the same type of fixture, except for two minor changes and retained the two separate doors (one for changing the bulb, and the other one for the ballast for maintenance work) one is they moved the location of the photo cell to the center of the fixture and the redesigned latch for the door by identified by two "bumps" on the front of this type of fixture. I preferred the 1959 to the late 1970s, as well as M-400R Series from 1986 to 1995 as of single door street light fixtures of that era.
I definitely love watching your cool street lamp videos & especially the new General Electric street lamp in your collection anyhow keep up the good work
Hi, this street lamp was of the most employed luminaire in the Mexico city avenues and highways with a 250watt HPS lamp. For Lumisistemas was named how Cromalite400 model. They were one of my most favorites luminaire equipment for your design and easy access individual to the lamp and ballast components, the other favorite was Cromalite 250 that was used in secondary and residential streets with 100watt HPS bulbs. AXA Lumisistemas was disappeared probably in 2020 and all of your luminaire models were acquired by Sola Basic. Regards from Monterrey Mexico and thanks for share this. You have nice luminaire.
Compa, me puedes hablar en español, que soy de México :))) ¡Sí! Efectivamente esta es la Cromalite 400 inspirada en la General Electric M400A, que fue tan popular en las avenidas grandes del DF desde finales de los setenta hasta bien entrados los 2000s cuándo se retiraron las últimas en un largo tramo del Viaducto Miguel Alemán (sorprendentemente aún algunas subsisten en algunos puntos como el trébol del cruce de Periférico con Insurgentes Sur) :) Efectivamente fue comprada por Sola, pero nada como las Cromalite con tanta historia ;) ¡Eran, son y serán mis favoritas por siempre! Y se les extraña mucho en los altos postes verdes donde se usaban. ¡Gracias por comentar!
@@THEBULBHOME Gracias, creo también se usaban en periférico, en av tlahuac yo vi muchas, pero las retiraron cuando construyeron la línea 12 del metro, la delegación en aquel entonces las mantenía impecables y si se apagaba una la reparaba rápido. Las cromalieye 250 había una versión con difusor de policarbomato transparente, en casa d emis padres el poste de la luz tenía una y solo una vez fallo por que calló un rato, la foto elda se daño y la lámpara quedó encendida hasta que se fundió, entonces le cambiaron el foco, después por cuestiones laborales vine a Monterrey y cuando volví de visita ya había. Retirado el luminario y colo ado un de aditivos metálicos cerámicos que no duró nada jejje. Saludos feliz navidad 2020.

Happened exactly the same to me! I loved M400As since I was a little kid, and now I got the opportunity to have one myself!
Great seeing another lighting channel. I've got an M400A3, but I've always wanted a 1980s style M400
Thanks! Hope we get to see your lamp one day!

Amazing Bro, :D
thanks!!
de dónde la conseguiste, ojalá tener una de esas, pero será difícil
Cool !
Thanks!
Eran muy comunes en mi ciudad hasta hace unos 6 años que empezaron a ser remplazados por lamparas LED
Genial
Can’t imagine going in debt having this lamp outside my house that’s why the city’s around the world are switching to led’s
