Neither do I. Current pretty much ruined GE's street light division, although it hasn't been a 100% failure.

It’s such a shame. Current’s products don’t deserve the GE emblem on them. Let’s hope they don’t ruin Kim Lighting or something.

ON LG FOR 1 YEAR! 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.

I believe Daintree bought out GE Current in 2018, then their HID offerings were officially discontinued in roughly 2019.

Breaking news. Current has dropped the Hubbell name entirely from their portfolio and has grouped fixtures into other subsidiaries. They even got rid of Hubbell Outdoor Lighting and replaced it with a subsidiary called EXO. For example, the Hubbell LitePak is now the Beacon LitePak. The Hubbell Ratio is now the EXO Ratio. Architectural Area Lighting, Beacon, Kim Lighting, and Whiteway still exist, though. In short, Hubbell Lighting no longer exists.

I like HID, CFLs and incandescents

Favorite indoor light source: PL Fluorescent (Preferably preheat, maybe rapid start, maybe instant start but instant start is boring)
Favorite outdoor light source: High Pressure Sodium (MV maybe, but HPS is relaxing)

Good job Daintree, way to go ruining one brand at a time.

Dropping the Hubbell brand name shouldn't be surprising...it was probably spelled out in the sale contract. Most likely, there was given a 3 to 5 year grace period, for a branding change. The buyer can obviously cut it short if they choose. @ Joseph_125: Steber is what became Hubbell Lighting...the buyout happened around 1970.
