@RyanF40T12:
oh yep, Parker still has the same MV fixtures in neighborhoods too.
guess it must be an IREA thing. I always liked seeing the MV in those places...it just looks nicer to me.
Where Xcel went HPS (actually it'd be 'Public Service' at the time the actual time the MV/HPS conversion took place)
I did notice a few seemingly randomly placed LEDs mixed in when I was at a relatives house in Parker last year...I had figured they were probably test fixtures, but I guess those must have been EOL replacements?
I did notice the LED conversions along some of those roads you mentioned in Highlands Ranch when I went after-Christmas clearance shopping(for lights, what else
) at some stores there.
You'd think they would keep up the lights along I-25, but like you say they don't do the best job with it LOL.
I've seen EOL HPS's out where I live where sometimes they're replaced fairly quickly, other times they stay that way for months... I always figured the county occasionally came around & checked (at the time I didn't know Xcel took care of the lights, its only a couple years ago I found that out).
