Neither do I. Current pretty much ruined GE's street light division, although it hasn't been a 100% failure.

It’s such a shame. Current’s products don’t deserve the GE emblem on them. Let’s hope they don’t ruin Kim Lighting or something.

I believe Daintree bought out GE Current in 2018, then their HID offerings were officially discontinued in roughly 2019.

Breaking news. Current has dropped the Hubbell name entirely from their portfolio and has grouped fixtures into other subsidiaries. They even got rid of Hubbell Outdoor Lighting and replaced it with a subsidiary called EXO. For example, the Hubbell LitePak is now the EXO LitePak. The Hubbell Ratio is now the Beacon Ratio. Architectural Area Lighting, Beacon, Kim Lighting, and Whiteway still exist, though. In short, Hubbell Lighting no longer exists.

Good job Daintree, way to go ruining one brand at a time.
