Little time left... « on: December 01, 2021, 10:56:09 AM » Author: Burrito
Unfortunately, as stated in my other thread, street lighting manufactures are slowly discontinuing HID lighting. this means that we must stock up, order directly from factory, or find street lights being removed before they are all gone.
i believe Cooper Lighting is the only manufacturer making any sort of HID street light left.
I know that this has been discussed multiple times too, so no banishing me?

LED street lights are bad. Some look good though. HID is better.
Please, watch out for the future. It's not looking good. Loves instruction manuals of any kind!

Acuity didn't discontinue all the cobraheads. Only the two door 315 and 325 series. They still make the 115 and 125. They're just streamlining the product offering and getting rid of the ones that sell the least.

Probably the saddest is Philips Hamilton plant in Scotland, closed then demolished with the end of 87 years of the low pressure sodium lamp  :lps:

The same thing happened to the former GE Canada, Oakville incandescent and fluorescent lamp plant. Closed and demolished. It's now a abandoned site.

Surprisingly Signify still lists the two Lumec Helios cobraheads. I was surprised that they still made HID luminaires.

What’s sad is what happened to GE Lighting Systems. They went from being on top with HID products to pretty weak in the LED street lighting business. First their LED products weren’t really appealing to cities in my area, then they started that whole “Current, powered by GE” rebrand which was a failed attempt to get into the intelligent cities platform. They did win one contract with San Diego to deploy smart sensors, which ended up being a huge joke that cost the city millions. Once GE realized they weren’t doing well they decided to sell part of their business to Daintree and now they’re called “GE Current, a Daintree company”. However SCE still likes their products.

LCEC is using their 47w ERL1 for 100w HPS replacement. So far the past 5 years or so they have stuck with those and haven't used anything else. They were at first 53w ERL1 but as of the past couple years they're 47w. They're doing really well too only a couple failures in the whole system I've seen.

Yeah, the ERL1 / ERLHs SCE is using have actually been pretty decent in terms of reliability. Unfortunately, the quality control kinda slipped on the M-400s in their final days. I saw a M-400 FCO that caught on fire shortly after installation.
