"Save-It-Easy" T5 lamps. These are T5 tubes which are designed to fit into T12 fixtures, and have built in ballast at one end of the tube (a bit like putting a CFL into an incandescent light).

I dislike them because they are uneven, having a chunky ballast at one end and just a slip-adaptor at the other end. Plus they often do not match the fixture's optics due to the tube's smaller diameter and hence result in a lower light output.

Haven't met those yet, can't think I will like such a crappy idea though. Likely to have a very short life, as well as poor output too.

i wouldnt say i hate the American Electric Durastar,i just dont like it as well as other streetlighting fixtures.

i too hate cheap knock-offs of classic streetlights,they embarass the originals,my only exception is the new Cooper Ov-15,Ov-25,and Ovl.

I hate the posttops with globes, pure waste of light (I have to admit that IDA is right for this.). The Durastar 2000 is really not my favorite, although the 3000 doesn't look that bad.

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!
