If you're trying to get a brand new cobra head, better strike while the iron is still hot. It seems like this LED upgrade is moving at a faster pace than I initially thought. The utility here just goes around replacing random streetlights with Green Cobra GCJ, and GCM LED fixtures whether they work or not. They just replaced the one outside of my house from HPS to LED, and the HPS worked fine. #Aggressive
Hmm, well our utility company (Duke Energy) still replaces old HPS or MV cobras that stop working with the AEL 115 FCO cobras in HPS. Yet sometimes if it's a new pole or a new rental light where no light was, then they use LED, the AEL ATB0 80. The DOT here seems to still use AEL 125 drop lens for spot replacement and even AEL 115 for new poles sometimes unless its a mass changeout.
Although the co-op in my neighborhood replaces HPS NEMA heads for LED whenever the lamp or ballast goes bad. And all new ones are LED.
I'd like a cobra someday, but I don't have the room here at home. I do have one streetlight though, a GE 201SA MV. But I'd like to have an AEL 115 or an American Electric Series 25 cobras. And of course a GE Powr/Bracket.
