Interesting, so I see it is a regular PC but without the three prongs, just a wire connection and the eye pointed at the cover where light goes in.

Never knew that they made fixtures that used astrodome PCs this recently.

Yeah this powerbracket is from 1995, the other powerbracket is from 1973 and has the standard NEMA style twist lock

Cool! I remember seeing someone use a button PC as a replacement for an astrodome PC in an M-250A. Did they make their cobraheads with astrodome PCs as an option too in the 90s or was the powr/bracket the last light to have this option?

They still make the replacement PCs but they're not cheap. Shocked

I think one could take a regular twist-lock photocell with socket and wire it to the existing plug...but it might be a tight fit.
