I think it was about '78 but I dunno what models they were making by then.

Wheeler made some funny looking cobraheads later on. http://www.vintagestreetlights.com/gallery/merc-wheeler.html I also thought or am guessing Wheeler Boston and perhaps the Pemcos were later taken over by Thomas Betts  (now American Electric Lighting http://www.americanelectriclighting.com/Products/SubCategory.asp?Brand=AEL&ProductType=American%20Electric%20Lighting&Category=Roadway%20Lighting%20Luminaires ) However Acuity Lighting is also making those same kinds. (see http://www.acuitybrands.com/search?keyword=%22Infrastructure%20and%20Roadway%22&category=Lighting&attr_Product_Type=Infrastructure%20and%20Roadway&isstandard=true&SearchType=infrastructure-roads )

6500K Color Temperature Kelvin lighting works for me. I use 6500K CFL in all my incandescent light fixtures. I use 6500K Flurescent bulbs in my flurescent fixtures. I hope prices get better and hope I find 6500K LED lighting in the future. I love energy efficient and Energy Star products. Way to go!
