identifying pole lights

Sorry to say, but without historic documentation by a previous repair you (or your serviceman) will have to climb those steps or bring in a bucket truck and look at the luminaire info or the ballast info. Don't go by the lamp, sometimes the wrong lamp has been installed.
 
This wont help with your question, but somthing I do when I service light poles is write the type of lamp that the poles take either in the panel cover or on the inside of the timer door.
 
Street lighting/Parking lights 40' to 50' poles are usually 250W or 400W. High mast lighting 140' for interstate 1000W is common. Mercury Vapor is being phased out. MH and HPS are the favorite.
 
Try taking a pix with a digital camera and a long (telephoto) lens. You may be able to read an enlarged image.

Bt sadly, sometimes you just gotta go up there.... no two ways about it.
