Yeah, it really does look like the real thing and it's cool that they rebuilt the old cobras instead of scrapping them.

Welllllllll isn't induction a form of a low pressure mercury lamp? Then they ARE mercs! Just no arc tube and electrodes lol.

and thank to the IDA for the FCO crap too. they dont have a dam clue about lighting. SA have the same problem around camp bullis area
wich is a military traning site. most of the problem is those mis aimed flood l.ights. and bisnesses are a problem for mis derected lights

Yeah some businesses are just too cheap to purchase "good" lighting (for lack of a better term) so they just get a 1KW MH flood, aim it vertical so it lights up the whole lot, and call it a day. Rolling Eyes

I wonder what would IDA have to say about this if those skyward gumballs actually worked. Razz

Maybe it was an IDA agent that disconnected them. Razz

I guess Pomona has gone back to mercs...

Here's a street light lit by the new inductions in rebuilt cobraheads on Phillips St in Pomona, CA facing west. Other than the higher color temperature at 5000K (compared to DX mercs), they look just like mercs!
