the only thing that's "crap" about HPS is the color.

Yes I have the lamp but I need to get more, Thanks for asking. I hate HPS and I don't like how the US uses it. LPS is one big step to saving energy. I will remove all my HPS fixtures and I am mad I ever used it.
You are right HPS has a crap color.
I can only have LPS at my dads home because of the owls and the wet lands The MH Wide-lites can stay because they are for emergency only.
Mike You should be happy all I like now is LPS because what do you think will happen with some of the old fixtures I hate?

You don't even like mercury vapor anymore? I don't know, I guess you're going to convert all your street lights to LPS?

I will give some to you

Oh wow thanks! I wish I had the room though. I need to build myself a shed for all my lights.

You can have the 175w MV you know the light you like to talk about.

Which one is that?

I will keep all 700W MV ballast and lamps safe in a EMP proof can. I love 700w MV.

Are you getting rid of all your non-LPS stuff? The old fixtures like the L-250s, the old GE M-250R, and the Line Material light with the 3Ms you should keep and maybe convert to LPS?

I am converting the L-250s to 35w LPS-E one will be 18w Line Material will be LPS. OVX will be MV. The intersection has changed big time I will take photos of the new one. The old GE will stay 400w MV Wide Lite will stay 1000w MH, So you have type of street light, Can I give you the 100w HPS? It is the on on the tree.

Ahh I see. Glad that you're converting some. Will the GE just be used for emergencies?

Cool, traffic light1 having your own LPS bulb

No lights at my moms home like the GE are not affected but the L-250 was
I have lots of LPS lamps 2 90w and 4 18w

Oh I see. So all-LPS only at your dad's house. Are the L-250 and M-250R the only two street lights at your moms that are outside/mounted?

Yes

Word on the street is an Observatory is coming here they are popping up all over the place in AZ. BUT one is in RI now but they what to make it bigger don't think it was working.

Ugh i hope they don't put one here. i thought they liked to put them in rural areas? RI is the most densely populated state so it makes no sense putting one here. LPS is the easiest to filter out for the obeservatories since the light has a small wavelength range. Clear mercury vapor lamps are the second easiest to filter. HPS is the third easiest. Coated MV, MH, LED, induction, and any other white-glow source is hard because they have a little of all wavelengths.

We have one it is in providence I looked on Google, It must not be working Hawaii is densely populated too.

Whereabouts? I didn't know there were any up here. Yeah it could be closed down. I was told in the early days of LPS like in the 1940s there were a few LPS lights in one area (possibly around that observatory) but they never caught on and were replaced with MV clamshells which got replaced with MV cobraheads, which got replaced with HPS cobraheads and will probably get replaced with LEDs in the next 15 years.

LPS is way better than LED. AZ has put lots of LPS up in 2012 and 2013. Hawaii has lots of LPS too. It is in Providence
