Around here it varies, but near my house there are mostly HPS NEMA head buckets with the short curved arms which are getting replaced by LED cobras on curved arms as they go out. There are also a few MV ones but they are rare.

A few houses have HPS AEL 165 ballast in arm fixtures, which I guess were sometimes used in the 90s but aren't common. I know one house has a GE Powr/Bracket MV, that's only one I know of, not working. I've only seen two others, one next to an old farm shed and the other in a little cove with a few houses around it.

The next town over from me has AEL 115 cobras on short stubby arms, which I think it's cool to see cobras as yard lights. These are all HPS as far as I am aware. I've also seen these at houses on a rural highway near my house.

Now other counties near me, especially rural ones tend to use the GE SA-201 style bucket lights in HPS for their yard lighting and some street lights also.

For non-lease yard lights, my street has one house with an acorn lamppost. Another house has two big, I think GE HPS floods on a pole that are switched. One pointing out front and one in back. Very weird to see these. Another house on my street has those quartz halogen floods on metal poles over an old tennis court, but they never use them. Plus me other neighbor that since passed away, had a quartz halogen on her garage, but she said it used way too much power so they had replaced it with a Regent MV bucket, but when they remodeled the garage, they put in recessed lights under the overhangs with yellow bug lights.

Another house near me has a bucket yard light that's MH, probably Lithonia and on top of the pole is a neat little round floodlight which I'm not sure what kind of bulb, it's never on.

A few other houses have round GE post top style lights that are MV.

In my area it's 100w HPS FCO GE 201SA's for back alleys. They are really nice since they light up a large area pretty brightly (much better than a cobrahead) and everywhere else it's 100w HPS 201SA's with acrylic refractors. I prefer the FCO since they don't have bad glare and they focus the light where it's supposed to go better.

Most of the ones around here are MV/HPS NEMA buckets, but I noticed that more GE Evolve style LED fixtures are going up as replacements. There is a driveway a mile or so down from my neighborhood that has a very low MV bucket mounted about 1/3 of the way up the utility pole. I noticed a couple weeks ago that it is no longer lighting at night, and am interested to see what will become of it. I think at this point they are just replacing anything that goes out with an LED retrofit. I am a little bummed that particular light isn't working anymore, as it was a very nice shade of snot green.

It was a very nice shade of snot green.

lmaooo

No lease lights to residential customers here in most cases. Some commercial properties have flood lights leased to them by the electric company. Those are either 400W or 1000W MV or 250 or 400W HPS. The MVs are fading away as they burn out. There are a very small number of cobraheads used as lease lights. NEMA heads and ballast-bracket type fixtures weren't used by the utility companies here. Would be cool to have a lease light on my property though.

Update to this. I went to an estate sale this morning, not far from my house actually only a couple of miles. But when I got there the first thing I noticed, was all of the yard lights on that street were the GE 201SA. Weird, especially considering I have never seen GE 201SA lights in my area, all the ones I've seen are Cooper or AEL, so I thought that was really neat. Plus these houses would all be on the same utility provider my neighborhood is. I do wonder if it has to do with when that street was developed, all of the houses looked to be 10-15 years old at the very most. Maybe during then they used 201SA?

If's funny because when I go to estate sales, I often see unusual lights in the area. Like a few months back I went to an estate sale and it was in a little cove, too small to call it a cul-de-sac, more like a driveway with three houses at the end, and I look up and there was a GE 400W MV Powr/Bracket.

So I often see some cool fixtures when I go to these sales.

NEMA heads and Yard Blasters are commonly used as yard lights here. you'll also see a few wall packs sprinkled about..

Its very rare to see lease lights for residential here. The one I know of is a HPS cobrahead.

As far as yard/driveway lighting, the most common thing you see is one of those incandescent 2-lamp-spotlight 'idiot lights'(ie: motion-sensor).
There are a few houses with a small lamppost in front (incandescent type(which may contain CFL's))
You used to occasionally see a MV yardblaster, not sure if there's any of those left now though.

Most of them are either yard blasters or NEMA heads here except all of them appear to be MV.

There's one house near me that has a pole near the driveway, with a wall pack mounted to it. The sides of the refractor are painted black to keep the light from shining on the neighbors. lol I'm not sure what type of light as I've never seen it turned on. I think it has a photocell on top if I remember. I can actually see it if I stand at the stop sign on my street.

In the backyard of that house I can see what looks like an explosion proof fixture on a pole as well, probably Holophane.

Actually I just find it on Google Streetview, and it's not really in front of a house, it looks like there used to be something there long ago but now the wall pack is just aimed at empty space.

At my hostel, we have an Optima (Orout Haamakim) floodlight with the Osram HQI-TS 150W/NDL Excellence, at the entrance of it. Also: We have globes with CFLs and PAR38 CFL stabs at our garden, as well as two 2xF36T8/D weatherpacks.
