Very rare here! This is just across the street from my Dad's house and I think it is 400 watt HPS just from the brightness (there is no tag) I hope to get this very fixture someday, as road work is slated to be done within the next few years.
He's testing the comments, there was an issue with them earlier today.

Nice find, M-400As are pretty rare in Ontario, I only know of a few of them.
I know where this is its up the road from me its a nice one I think its the only one we have in Brampton. I like that one and the westinghouses beside it
The road work thats happening right now is way down at the other end (the photo with the construction and model 25) As long as it doesn''t burn out or someone calls it in I guess so. It is still there i was worried when a bunch of 115's were moving into that area recently. The only other things that have changed there are the ped signals those durasigs are gone, and Fortran countdown timers are there now. There has been news about work starting at bovaird which is up a bit from there and I think a few of those powerlites are coming down. The GE-400A is far enough away from there to not come down from that project
ahh that's good. The way Niall mentioned the construction i thought this guy was doomed. These beasts are heavy too! the early HPS ballasts were monsters and the fixtures could weigh up to 50 pounds! I think the early 1000W HPS fixtures were over 100 pounds! Man have ballasts gotten smaller. Just imagine all the ballast losses on a 70 pound 1000W HPS ballast from the 70s. 0_0
Yep this light is still up. There will eventually be roadwork done here (widening the road) but I think it's still going to be awhile, typical government projects.
Ahh sounds like the RIDOT projects that go on here lol. they announce projects long before they start them and when they finally do start, they seem to lag on forever lol.
