New HPS fixtures? « on: May 08, 2021, 04:43:22 PM » Author: Das Rheingold
I've seen some pictures here from Toronto, apparently they were still installing HPS very recently. Have you seen other places where they were still putting up HID units? Only other place I know is Grande Prairie, Alberta, they've been putting up HID un until very recently, though the newest district is using LED. Fortunately though they are still very much an HID city, some old MV lamps are still up too I think.

As a resident of Southern California, USA, I have seen some new high pressure sodium installations very frequently and I also have seen places where they still replace old high pressure sodium lanterns with new high pressure sodium lanterns.

My area with Duke Energy was still installing HPS fixtures to replace existing HID fixtures up until early 2020. Now they only install LED, but I believe they still relamp HPS fixtures. My city still has many, many HPS street light fixtures, and a few MV ones here and there.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

The "Southside Mega Fix " project that involves completely redesigning a portion of I-71 , The I-70/I-71 interchange and I-70 through both the southside and Downtown Columbus has so far used all HPS fixtures from underpass lighting , High Masts and standard cobra heads .
