Smashed Powerlite :( 
I was very sad when I saw this, this old Powerlite (not sure on the model) any ways it WAS lighting a strip mall parking lot until about two months ago when some how it fell over and well heres the end result it was a rather rickety rusty old pole so I have a feeling it just rusted out, the cobra was totaled and I didn't feel like taking it for the ballast since it was right in front of a open store and right beside a very busy road, it was gone (scraped) the next time I went by there.

That's sad to see this nice light smashed up like this.

Thanks for the comments guys, there is one more of these mounted to the building and the way the redevelopment on this street is going the place is likely to have a condo built on it soon, so I might be able to get one some time Smile

the ballast looks rusted out.

Yeah its rusted but it worked the night before this happened Sad

I wonder if this is actually a B2213 since it looks a bit long to a B2215, plus the ballast is huge and has 4 caps which looks more like a 1 kW ballast instead.

Yeah it was a B2213, I think it was actually a 700 watt mercury.

Cool! now I wonder if the B2213s that were on the 401 were 700W or 1kW.
