They started converting the existing MV to HPS in the 90s.  New installations in the 80s and 90s were mostly HPS.

The series TJ Hooker is a good one. It features old lighting stuff in 1980s Los Angeles. Apparently, LA experimented with LPS at one point in time from what I saw in a episode (don’t remember which).

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!

Apparently, LA experimented with LPS at one point in time from what I saw in a episode (don’t remember which). That is correct.  LA and several other communities in California did indeed try LPS for awhile.  They even had a display about it at one of their science museums as well as at an space observatory museum-  The LPS were highly praised because of the low light pollution they emitted, which made looking at the stars easier.  When I was a boy my family visited that museum during a vacation trip to LA and Disneyland.  I remember all the LPS lamps and was very amazed by them.

I just found this today. It's at the end of a grassy field, next to a highway on ramp. Anyone know why they do this?

Fixture may have blown off, or they are repairing it or waiting for a new one, or decided to just remove it and leave the pole standing for now.
