Looks like a magnetic ballast,and if its a 250 watt,then its probaly an M58 model.If you clean it up and install a another 250 watt bulb of a higher "k" rating then your good to go.Those industrial bulbs usually fall in the range of 4200-4500 k.

There's no writing at all on the ballast itself?

Geez I didn't even notice that it's in a street light fixture. Steve's right, those are Mercury Vapour. You might be able to run Iwasaki bulbs in it though (am I the only one who still uses Iwasaki ??? )

That look like a pretty sweet reflector though, all molded and shiney. Ditch the bulb and by a higher K rating.
