Right. I am noticing more light like this with the cover gone. One of them was working fine. I wonder if it's to indicate which lights are to be replaced?

They do that with fixtures here in western mass. They take the door and photoeye off to mark a replacement.

The doors on the 60's GE lights are extremely hard to get off by trees or anything like that, so most likely they're removing the doors for a purpose. Here they still relamp mercs. if it has something wrong, they replace it while they are there instead of removing the door and comeing back

I discovered this GE M250 in Barrington about a week ago when I drove past it and it wasn't on. Came back during daylight and discovered that it's missing the bottom cover as well as the lens. Reported it to ComEd.
