Just wondering if you know of any HID lighting installations refurbished or installed within the last year. There are 3 I currently know of:
1: A nearby church has those MV posttop globes that cause serious light pollution. For years, they were greened out and the covers had turned yellow. Earlier this year, the covers got partially smashed, but the lights still worked. A few weeks ago, the cover and lamp had disappeared from all of them, and I was certain it was the end for them. Well, I just saw them again tonight, and they have brand new /DX lamps and globes! I was happy to see that they weren't replaced with LED.
2: Some abandoned buildings nearby are undergoing mass renovation, being turned into various restaurants and cell phone stores, etc.
They have installed new parking lot LED "shoeboxes", one of which has already failed and not been repaired. However, the outside of one of the buildings have had CMH wall sconces installed. I wish they would learn that LED is not a mature enought technology to be used like this yet.
3: The best one so far: A superamerica gas station recently replaced their failing and dimming out canopy lights with MH units. Guess they learned that MH was a much better technology than LED.

I've seen some early 1950s OV-20s relamped in MV used in an apartment complex. There are also a row of six Silverliners that are maintained and have shiny blue PCs. The town has a bunch of unistyle 400s on original octagonal concret posts and arc arms.

In the city no, but i might be able to talk a hardware shop owner in my area to go from a mix of T8 FL and big CFLs to MH highbays in the shop

Long story short, he is unhappy with his present day lighting, and was considering to put up LED floodlights. I got him to consider MH as better light quality, healthier, longer lasting and more energy efficient option (as MH is, compared to LED)

There is a section of road in downtown Anderson, SC with three or four 400W MV Silverliners that had stopped working one by one. They were out for a long time, and I was sure they'd be replaced with LED flyswatters since that's what the POCO has been doing elsewhere, but much to my surprise, I went by there a few months ago at night and they were all working with new, bright /DX lamps. I don't have an explanation for this unless they just ran out of LED fixtures. I just hope they'll be kind enough to do the same with the last remaining GE Form 400 in town. It is still working as far as I know but the clear lamp is getting dimmer. If it was on the property of someone I know instead of lighting a major road, I'd be borrowing a cherry picker and relamping the thing myself. I might even replace it with a modern cobrahead and keep the Form 400.

Here in our town HID (HPS) streetlights are still installed on mainroads and in some nearby villages old MV streetlights were replaced in favour of new lanterns running HPS lamps (Philips Iridium SGS 354)

In my neighborhood a pole  have to be replaced,but they kept the old     m-250

They still service the remaining MVs here in So Cal, even incandescent too. New HID fixtures are still commonly installed out here.

Suprises me that they relamp the fixtures with incandescent lamps. You would think they would at least use CFLs or SBMVs.

Some of the incandescent lights operate on series circuits. Have to use specialized 6.6A incandescent lamps or retrofit them with plug in series HID ballast adapters.

Ah, I see. By the way, are screw-in in HID adapters still made?

I wish I could see some photos of those incandescent lamps in use.  I would love to see old incandescent street lights in use. 

I posted some night scenes of incandescent street lights on the other site galleryoflights.org. You should check it out.
