M400 or M-400? « on: June 03, 2021, 09:15:37 PM » Author: LightsoftheWest
There's probably going to be heavy debate on this topic, but do the names of GE cobraheads have hyphens? I have seen both, so I don't know which is correct. I hyphenate the names whenever I write them.

Quote from: Econolite03 on June 03, 2021, 09:29:50 PM The official paperwork that came with my GE fixtures has hyphens (M-400). Okay, that's what I thought. I'm also wondering about the hyphens in the NEMA fixtures as well. I think they have them, but I could be wrong.

I've also noticed the names of Westinghouse fixtures with and without hyphens. Whenever I look at Westinghouse catalogs, I see hyphens, so I assume that's correct.
