Least favourite: All of them

Alright in all seriousness I kinda like the Philips Roadfocus series streetlights they installed in my hometown. Three variations with 1 to 3 LED arrays, and from what I've read around here they seem to be at least decent in quality. Their light distribution is also excellent, even better than some of the previous FCO units!
As to which models I dislike the most, I'd say anything built cheap LOL.

Long Live SOX!

Favourite: Anything with good anti-glare light control and warm white in colour temperature. Least favourite: Poor distribution control and / or in cold white. Favourite fixture: Phosco P852 (It looks decent, but it still has poor light control.) Least favourite fixture: ASD Highway Diamond (especially the Micro variant) |

| I don't have any specifics in mind but here's my list of favorite and least favorite features:
Favourite: good light control and even distribution, lower colour temperatures (3000K), good CRI, good build quality. The Roadfocus seems to be a good example.
Least favorite: poor light control and uneven distribution, low CRI, high colour temperature, especially when coupled with low CRI, cheap cost cut build. A good example of these are your eBay/Amazon grade generic LED lights.

| Not a lot of failures in the Philips Hadco and Roadfocuses. Same with CreeLEDway and the LED Roadway NXTS.

ON LG FOR 2 YEARS! Please don't ask to meet up with me, as I am still living with my mother. Don't send me items either please, thank you!
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!

SRP for life.

| Mine are probably the Cooper Verdeon, Philips/Lumec RoadFocus, Cree RSW, and Dialight StreetSense.
Favorite area light is probably either the GE Evolve E2SA or the Evluma AreaMax.
Least favorite street light is either the Leotek E-Cobra or the Cooper Navion.

Favourite: Aldridge LEDs. Haven't seen any fail yet and best of all, they have replaceable drivers and LED panels. These lights also weigh a ton because the cast aluminium housing is also a giant heatsink. Least Favourite: Anything that looks like a giant spatula and goes  after 2 months of service. |

Long live the HPS and SOX!

| My favorite specifically is probably the Philips RoadFocus LEDs, otherwise just anything that’s 3000K and lasts a decent amount of time before color shifting, getting really dim, etc.
My least favorite is any Leotek E-Cobra, I’d be surprised if it’s not quite literally the worst fixture in the entire history of street lighting. There are still lots of them on freeways around here, some are still dim and yellow but most have failed completely.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.
