At the time, it was the best of the best! Unfortunately technology moved on. Still, the ecobra and even the original SMX-WIE are inspired from its design.
Seattle City Light installed these on residential streets back in 2009. Went into Seattle last night...the ones I saw were very dim, discolored, and near half of the chips had failed, while some have completely failed (and replaced with 3000K Leoteks). The only good part about them is if you owned Alcoa stock.
