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!

Wow!, there would have been just enough light to light a dark area using just one of those IN the lantern itself!  :cflhd:

 Assuming those are 60W equiv. CFL's , at 800 lumens each they would only produce 7,200 lumens . A 100W HPS produces 9,500 lumens so this MESS took more time to make and produces less light than the correct lamp . Sure  , the CFL's were probably cheaper than the correct lamp but when you factor in the shoddy labor , it would've been WAY more cost effective to just put the correct lamp in it to begin with ! Plus , the 9 CFLs draw the same if not MORE power than the correct lamp and ballast ! (your "average" 60W CFL is 13w X 9 = 117W)

 Wouldn't really hurt anything . Most low wattage HPS ballasts will run a incandescent or CFL lamp with no problem even with the ignitor in place !
