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

I have severe doubts about it's safety - it only crushes them an put into one basket. It might be used really only on pink glowing ALTOs (where is no free mercury left), otherwise the mercury release would be huge. If saving cost of recycling, better to use higher quality, longer life tubes, so have fewer to recycle...

Yup.  Manufacturer contracts change often.  Also- most large commercial operators have supply houses they get their lighting equipment from, where the supply houses deal specifically with a brand.  My church for example (worldwide church with thousands of buildings) has had a contract directly with Sylvania since the 1970s.

Any machine is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough.
