I've always seen them with HPS.  Kinda goes with their orange theme.

My local Home Depot seems to use 1000w S52 high pressure sodium Galleria lanterns in the parking lot.

Quote from: davidnonledfan on June 26, 2022, 10:34:18 AM Has anyone seen a Home Depot before with parking lot lamps that are still there in 2022? I am always curious to know of these big box stores still being lit-up with older lighting. most certainly, the one near me has one particular fixture that they haven't relamped in north of 6 months. every time i'm walking into the store i hear it buzzing angrily and hope they'll actually get around to it.

applying obsolete lighting technologies for the enjoyment of the masses; why not use a magnetic ballast for a new installation? and when they tell you you can't run a t12 off that "t8" ballast.... just look back to the old preheat systems where wattage was the only spec listed.
