Parking-lot lighting in a shopping center.
The LED things were recently added, guess at this point that means the HID's will be staying...atleast for awhile.
Update:
Was in this shopping center tonight...
Those things are glare-bombs the way they have them set up, especially the one that points towards the little road entering the parkinglot.
The arc tube looks like it's 1000W based on the size and comparing to the photocells/shorting caps on the LED floods. A twist-lock PC is roughly 3" in diameter just to put the shoe box into perspective. That thing is basically a 2x2 troffer on a pole.
@merc:
I have no idea, it was fine without them!
Actually if anything these make it worse, especially the glare-bomb pointed right in your face at the entrance to the lot
These round-reflector vertical lamp shoeboxes are pretty uniform at lighting the lot, especially with the round sag lens. I can't imagine these floods contributing much. These shoeboxes basically throw a giant circle of light all over the place. The horizontal lamp ones are more controlled/directional.

How can you tell the shoe box is 1000w ? I didn't see any sorta label/tag.

Is the "shoebox" so much directional?
1000W MH should be more than enough!

The shoeboxes were replaced with LED fixtures last year.
