| with the same ballast your only paying more for enlarged optics and maybe a throw in mounting arm.

ITT Low Pressure Sodium NEMA

| That's basicly it. The ballast, PC and bulb are the same. The Deluxe is the ballast housing with 12" optics, an easy mounting bracket, a light blocker strip, a PC cover with a diffused window and a grill for the bottom of the optics.
The optics are a heavier plastic and mount more firmly to the housing than their regular barn buckets, and should hold up longer.
Of course, with the way Regent/Cooper mounts their ballasts, ya could easily convert one of these to almost any kind of light ya want.
(I picked one up cheap on clearance)

Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).
LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.

| I gotta figure the cooling fins help to dissipate some of the heat...which is the biggest enemy of ballast and wiring (and cap if one is present).

| it would suck less if they quit using ballasts that are undersized for their intended purpose.

Formerly "TiCoune66". Also known here as Vince.

| There is a HPS "delux" bucket light not away of me and the lamp began to cycle only a year after the installation! That's a Copper fixture by the way...

the head or ballaast housing is the same as the regular version,the only thing bigger are the optics...prehaps since the lense is a little bit further from the lamp than in the regular version with the 9"optics it will yellow less,cause i've visibilly observed that yardblasters with the 12"optics yellow at a slower rate. |

Oh your talking about the one that looks like it's trying to be a NEMA. THAT one is the same as the standard yardblaster but with a 12" refractor instead of an 8" and a mounting arm included. The optics yellow just as badly  |
