so far i love the ge models but now that i have a few more of westinghouse im at a draw and in a few weeks im going to get a line materials just curious to see what every one likes

Wow! this is an hard one........
But  I like Westinghouse a lot! But thats what most people's favorite is! for both Lumes and Bulbs!!!

But if I had to choose the current fixtures....my Favorite current streetlight brand is American Electric.......whoops I mean General Electric!!!

For favorite brand for current bulbs.....Philips.......(well thats kinda Westinghouse again...because the bulbs have some little bit of Westinghouse....) The Philips bought the Westinghouse!

yes I completely agree GE is not my favorite for lightbulbs....because a lot of those reveals are junky and a lot of those bulbs like 15 and 25 watts dont last the rated hours and stuff like that......

reveal for me is a bad headache actually there the only bulb that does that to me

If you mean maker for fixtures or lanterns it would be Industria.
They make strong and long lasting fixtures

that bulb was made on a friday 

I would have to say Westinghouse is the true classic, afterall, George Westinghouse beat out Thomas Edison in the AC vs. DC war in the early days of electricity.  Also, the classic Lifeguard merc lamp is known for its super long life and lumen maintenence. Their cobraheads are also a thing of beauty.

The same for me for the same reason.

My favorite brands for street lights is a tie between GE and Westinghouse. Both manufacturers made good street lights with bullet proof ballasts. For lamps, I prefer the OLD, pre 1983-84 GEs, Sylvanias, and Westinghouses. Duro-Test and other long life offbrands sure made good stuff also. Today, the USA made incandescents are still pretty good but I have had some problems. The GE 15 watt soft whites are incorrectly labelled at 2500 hours. I have changed dozens and dozens of  GE 15 watt soft whites at work (we use them in the exit lights). I record the date of installation on every lamp. I have NEVER had a single GE 15 watt last beyond 1500 hours. Not one, NONE. On the other hand, a long burning fake Westinghouse (formerly Abco) clear 15 watt 130 volt bulb finally burnt out after more than 2 years of use. That's more than 6000 hours! I had enough with the GEs, we now use Sylvanias and Philips which are still decent. The GE 40-100 watt soft whites are still ok as long as they are not made in China. The Chinese GEs are junk complete with softer glass, rough aluminum bases that seize in sockets, substandard tungsten filaments, etc. They almost always burn out faster than the USA made GEs.

i bet the same with hid lamps also !!! at work we use sylvania hps and mh

at work we use Philips lamps. Used to be GE
