Lots of GE fixtures- their L-69A base-up incandescent flood (for 1500W PS-52 lamps), the PMA-115 post top, PMF-104A fluorescent in use at the 1962 Seattle World's fair, QF-1500 halogen flood (hi-tech for the day), A-4000 Powerglow mercury, PMC-116 'Colonial' post top, P-1000 'Powerflood' mercury flood.
The L-69A flood was mainly for incandescent, but catalogs of the time do mention to "contact factory" for HID lamp info. It's possible the unnamed mercury floodlights mentioned above at the Alma Golf course were in fact L-69A fitted with mercury lamps.
