Yes! Someone knows about the factory in Emmen! The office in Capelle aan den IJssel is still closed to this day, and the factory at Emmen was transfered to Sustainder B.V which is another street lighting company, and the showcasing area is still full of Industria fixtures.

As for the Factory in Spain, i've seen production go very well there, they make specific fixtures in different countries, for example the current Iridiums aren't produced in Spain, but in Poland, Spain produces all of signify's flood lights and tunnel lights, the UrbanFlex, Citymood, Luma², Sunstay and Sunstay Pro, TownTune, Milewide gen2, Classic Street, Villa gen2, Citycharm Fluid, and Citysoul gen2.

For all those fixtures there is a specific assembly line.

But i've never seen any production of electronic ballasts in Spain other than Poland.

Two thumbs up for this interesting article!

It's sad to see Indal's demise since it was absorbed by Philips and then transferred to Signify. The Industria/Indal factory in the city of Emmen, Netherlands was then quickly closed as was the Dutch Indal office in Capelle aan de Ijssel. It remains to be seen how long the Signify Valladolid factory will remain open before production there is also moved to its Polish sister factory in Ketrzyn or Chengdu in China.

I saw that recently, I think they're just selling NXT-Lites in the US.

In Pacific Palisades they've used some of the standard RoadMax on some power poles, replacing LADWP (I'm pretty sure) HPS lights.

Well, if it is up to code valid at build time, it is "up to code" now as well.
Problem is, when the installation is too old, you will have troubles finding components compliant with code from that time. Especially things compatible with aluminum wires (switches, sockets, connection for pigtails,...).

Most remodelers I have seen at HGTV tells the viewer that the house with aluminium wiring should be replaced with copper wiring to bring it's up to code.

Not really, I would expect arc tube bulging and low electrode life at these currents. I think it would significantly reduce the lifespan of the lamp.

It runs fine on the much  higher rated ballast but I would like to know how much this overpowering would shorten the lifespan of the lamp.
 10   Lanterns/Fixtures / Modern / Holophane launches a new high-output flood light  on: April 13, 2026, 04:36:12 AM 
Started by LightsoftheWest - Last post by LightsoftheWest
Earlier this month, Acuity Brands has finally released a proper high-output LED flood light under Holophane - it's called the Raptor™. This is an adequate successor for the Prismbeam II, which was discontinued several years ago. The design is reminiscent of Crouse-Hinds incandescent flood lights from the 1930s. Additionally, it comes with several different optical configurations, including louvre attachments, a wire guard, a vandal-resistant shield, and even a prismatic glass lens instead of a clear glass lens. It maxes out at 816 watts, 120,000 lumens.
