Here is the LED lights that have begun to replace HID lighting in Easthampton. This 88 watt SAT-48S from LRL replaced a AEL 115 250 watt HPS last week. so long HID lighting in Easthampton. :(
Another thing that I don't like about LED or induction is that (on most fixtures) the entire fixture has to be replaced, you can't just screw in a new lamp.
Actually LEDs can have parts replaced....like the driver can be replaced, the LED strips can replaced....and yes you can replace ballasts on inductions too...
i'm just waiting to see the 44 watters in service now because the test ones they had up were not very bright, they were dimmer than the 70 watt HPS lights near it.
Luckly for me, none of Rhode Island is going LED and I haven't heard any talk of upgrades. Heck, the towns off the mainland of RI are still incandescent! I actually heard that Rhode Island is going green by setting up wind turbines. Now THAT is a good way to save energy. Banning little light bulbs isn't going to help anyone except the manufacturer of the more "effecient" lamps.
The streetlights in my town still haven't been infested with LED yet, the ones I linked to are at least a few miles away from me and is in the next town.
And yeah see if you can save that M-400A, putting it up across from the LED light is a great idea too.

Too bad it survives!
