Does anyone know when the Classic Wide-Lite style floods discontinued? « on: February 09, 2026, 06:16:45 AM » Author: Milwaukeeman2003
Hey everyone! I was wondering when all the Wide-Lite style fixtures, like the Aktra II, were discontinued. All info will be appreciated, thanks!

I think the F-Series was available for special order until 2019/2020 and into the Signify era. The last spec sheet for it has Signify branding and is still online and has a copyright date of 2019 on the last page. Interesting a 1500w MH model was made as well. Must have been bright.

Now, I think the smaller Wide-Lite Jr. Model which was based off the F-Series was probably discontinued in the 1970s before the HPS era, all examples I've seen online were 100-250w MV.

I couldn’t agree more. I wonder what colors were available.

Thanks for the info! I’m surprised it doesn’t say it has discontinued.

They are for sure discontinued; their place of manufacture (San Marcos, TX) was closed in 2024.

Sometimes it just takes time and concerted effort to learn something new. Don't give up before you get there.
