GE M2RC 175w PSMH
Here's a rare bird. A 175w pulse start metal halide GE M250R2 FCO. This was an eBay find, and what's unusual about it is it doesn't have a GE ballast, rather it has a Philips Advance multitap ballast. I have never seen a GE fixture that uses something other than a GE ballast. Up until January 1st, 2017, this option was still available for order along with 100, 150, and 250w PSMH. What's even rarer than this would be a probe start metal halide/mercury vapor M250R2. There are some M250A2's out there in that configuration, though. Either way, it's cool to have an OEM metal halide cobrahead. Kind of wish it had a glass drop refractor but it is what it is.
