I’ve lost… « on: July 12, 2022, 03:02:48 PM » Author: CreeRSW207
Well I’ve lost the battle that I’ve feared for a long time, Belmont becoming victimized to Affinity. Nearly all of the lights in the southern part of town have all been replaced. I knew I should’ve sent the email months ago to have black Leotek lights installed. :'(

They’re terrible, at least they’re the newer versions which aren’t as bad, still not good.

I'm honestly crying, and I don't do that often. :'(

@LightsoftheWest, that's a plus.

Really sorry to hear about this. I felt the same way when my city went LED 2 years ago, I couldn’t stand GE Evolves the same way you hate Affinity since it’s everywhere and seems cheap.

I’ve always been interested in all kinds of lighting, mainly incandescent and HID, and especially all kinds of sodium lamps (HPS/LPS). I’ll tolerate LED but I’m not a fan of it.
I’m not proud to say that my city has Devolved to LED.

I truly feel bad for you. I'm starting to lose hope in looking forward to seeing LPS in use whenever I visit San Diego. Currently in Escondido as I type this.

Yup at least we’re going through the same thing. It’s hard seeing lights I have childhood memories with seemingly stolen overnight but cheap POS LEDs.

That's a shame, I remember when they changed my street and trashed all the 1982 100w HPS Westinghouse OV-15s that were originally in use.

Also a shame they used such generic looking luminaires too, I like what Toronto is doing with the 3000K LED gumballs that they're using to replace the URBs.

Oh man, that sucks. I feel for you man. :'( Hate it when a town/city gets poor-quality lights.

Yup and the fact that it's my city is one trillion times worse.

Brookline, MA turned LED in 2014. It seems like NH is getting the LEDisease at a faster rate now.

Yup I think the utilities are emailing all of these town suggesting it, it's ridiculous.

LED Roadway NXTs would be a better choice. It has a setting where it can be set to 3,000K
