Really Dim HPS « on: February 09, 2009, 06:23:56 PM » Author: lightman64
Why sometimes do you see a really dim HPS streetlight? You think it would just cycle and then die? Do noncycling ones dim out like this?

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!

It could be a bad capacitor causing the light to be dim.

Sometimes it can be the wrong bulb.
