Using cobrahead street lanterns as grow lights? « on: July 07, 2022, 02:31:13 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
Since high pressure sodium and metal halide lamps are often used for grow lights, I am beginning to wonder if North American cobrahead street lanterns have good optics that can allow them to be used as grow light fixtures.

I don't know if that was the true purpose but I have seen a M250A2 lighting a garden so perhaps it was a grow light of some kind.

I saw an M250R2 in a garden in Vermont, it could be possible.
