Wow, didn't know such a blast would blast out on this topic. But as of, @lightsofpahrump:

I guessing you don't even know what even both of these are. If you would even care to interest in Elgo and Polam, you'd know much better that an OUS 400 is way better than you think. And even saying "Crappy" enough makes me thing you not even know about Polish fixtures. First of all, An Elgo made ballast already gives a fixture no name as "Crappy". Best made ballasts in the whole Poland, and maybe even in Europe. Second of all, they use Aluminium to make the streetlights, and either use Glass or acrylic bowls to ensure durability instead of some (censored) Polycarbonate ones. Fixtures like these can literally last 50 years, or even 100 if they use Alloy aluminium and Glass bowls. However, later in 2000s, indeed sadly used Polycarbonate.

Second of all, Yet LED fixtures from Poland may not be very reliable, I still would choose an Adeco, and as I said, it was never used in Poland.

Also, just because you think they are very unreliable cheap fixtures is what everyone thinks from America and England. Say something like this to a Random Polish guy, you'd immediately get into a fight. Be thankful I didn't start fighting about some "yard Blaster", or otherwise there would be a case about me and you. Otherwise, I'm out of this, you be what you want to be, I'll be want I want to be. That's what I was told all those years.

@SussexEuroSOX:

You don't even need to start this. This isn't even your case. Already enough you made some tiny chaos. Listen, if he wants to call Polish streetlights some Yard Blaster, let him do it, that already makes enough seem he does not know a thing.

End of the discussion.

Are you familiar with that type of light? (Yard blaster)

I'm a little confused...

Are you aware of some of those lights? Defo the worst style of north american HID lantern. I'll try and find some pics of them falling apart.

A yard blaster is a Res grade area light for the North American market, many of which are horrid quality. Very different to a street light, much worse than a NEMA head too, some of which are good quality.

I was wondering, in 2026, how rare are completely LED free buildings?

The only building that I can think of that has absolutely no LEDs, and is quite nostalgic of the 2010s, is the science and math building at my school (built in 2009) which is lit completely with 4x2 troffers (3 lamp) and several 2 and 1 lamp wraparounds. They have been consistently relamping the hallways with fluorescent so I don't think they're going to retrofit any time soon.

In fact I was able to pick some CFLs close to $1. But the comparison is not fair as electronics for CFLs is somewhat more complicated than LED supplies. For linear tubes, some still available are $1 new with warranty at retail, ~$2 remaining triphosphor stocks. Available T8 LED substitutions are generally 3-5 times more expensive.

I've never been able to buy €1 CFLs like i'm able to buy €1 LED lamps.
