So... today I went on a date that ended up being successful... although she's the blond and pink long hair, sunglasses, talkative type... things went
well. We went to The Greene, in Beavercreek Ohio... a strip mall with tons, and tons of stores. The outside of the strip mall is lit with
tear drop lens, *former* Metal Halides, that have been unfortunately converted to LED, sooo... it's much dimmer than what it use to be.... however...
not only are there some that were missed out, but the stores... almost all of the stores in The Greene are still completely lit with fluorescent
lighting. The bookstore that she and I went to, is still lit with fluorescent lighting, with Metal Halide spot lights high up in the middle of
the store, all still in use! Those Parabolic troffers have 3 lamp T8's in them, some 3000k color temp, some about 4100k... however... the fixtures,
both fluorescent and Metal Halide, are in desperate need of relamping. Many of those Metal Halide lamps were swirling significantly, and many
were out completely. Many were also buzzing, so noticeable that my date actually brought it up on her own!
The "Nordstrom Rack" store, to my big time surprise, was also completely lit with fluorescent. (T8s) Unique fixtures that I have never seen before
until then. Seemed like weak electronic ballasts are operating them though, since they were rather dim... but hey, fluorescent! What confuses me even
more is that Nordstrom Rack was recently built at the Greene, during a time I'd highly expect LED to be their lighting choice. Nope!
I encountered many more fluorescent in other stores, and many more missed out post fixtures during their LED conversion. It was VERY obvious, considering
how much brighter the Metal Halides were in comparison to those LED's. Flash patterns of the Metal Halides of course helped me determine that
they were still Metal Halide, as well as the warmer color, and brightness level.
So yeah... some people may think LED is becoming dominant... well, that's still just... not the case... in MANY places out there. That's the point I'm
trying to make in this thread. 

Interesting that they completely missed so many during the conversion, lol. Now they will go OEL at different times. They should have measured the current.

There is a hotel here that has an MH lit parking lot and a few years ago one of the ballasts presumably failed and they replaced it with an HPS, lol. I can see that one HPS light surrounded by 100 other MH lights in matching lanterns from a mile away! Same thing happened with another ballast failure years later and that fixture ended up with an LED COB.

@Flyoffacliff, it's a good thing you mentioned the LED COB, because there's something I forgot to mention... although the tear drop lens fixtures
are incredibly dimmer with the LED's that replaced the former Metal Halides, those LED's are not COBs, from what I could see. They look far too
flat to be COBs. The Metal Halides that remain, even the different cooler colored Metal Halides, are all so much brighter than those LED's.
I had multiple opportunities to take pics, since she and I have been at the Greene twice now, but I failed. Didn't take any pictures.
I will next time though.
During the second trip to the Greene, she and I went to Old Navy... which is still completely lit with F32T8's. Mass amount of them there.
There are even cool white halophosphate circline lamps, I'm guessing 32w, hanging down from track light rails near a display of several clothes.
Although they've probably been in use for many years now, they barely have any end blackening, with the exception of end banding. Those circlines
were each on electronic ballasts. The F32T8 fixtures all were electronic (of course) and all seemed to have warm white Philip Alto's.
We also visited a cookie shop, which had lots of small T5 preheat undercabinet lights in use over displays of cookies. PREHEAT. They looked to have
been 6 watt lamps, possibly 8 watt, but I'm not sure. Cold Stone Creamery seemed to still be using CFL spot lighting. Didn't get a good view of those
though, so I don't remember for sure.
