A whole mix of 1950s-60s street lights in the next city over from mine. There is a large boatyard there (Oxnard, CA). There are a few 1959 GE M-400s, and many 1960s M-400s, all still mercury vapor. There are also 20-30 Westinghouse OV-25s, and 2 Unistyle 250s. Photos are in my gallery.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

There is a Wide-Lite flood light behind an auto repair shop that has never worked as far as I've known about it.

In the town next to mine there are two silver GE M400s and a Revere post top (all in my gallery) at a bank parking lot but AFAIK none work as the bank closed long time ago. Also at the same street there is an old shopping center with mid 60s Westinghouse cobras that still work but day burn and are very dimmed out.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

There's this old parking lot that used to be the old HEB which is now the Entertainmart it has 400w unistyle street lights most of them have been converted to 400w metal halide a few of them are still mercury vapor. But most of the lights that are on the city streets have been replaced with LED

There is an A/E Model 25 in a parking lot in Yelm that had been dayburning for a few years now. It is 400W MV.
