ON LG FOR 2 YEARS! Please don't ask to meet up with me, as I am still living with my mother. Don't send me items either please, thank you!
Please, watch out for the future. It's not looking good. Loves instruction manuals of any kind!

Just a question, can other types of area lights be included in this category, like NEMA heads and shoeboxes?

My favorite would have to be literally any version of the GE M-400 (including the M-400A) preferably HPS.
My least favorite is probably the Cooper OVH since it has poor build quality and isn’t very reliable. Still better than LED in my opinion though.
Just to add my favorite lamp type (if it wasn’t obvious from my username lol) - of course MV and MH are nice and pretty awesome compared to LED, but nothing is like HPS for me, and it’s always been my favorite lamp type. Not sure if that would change if I ever saw SOX in person, but since I haven’t I don’t know.

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.

The only Cooper fixtures I can deal with are the OVM and my NYC spec OVZ . Honestly , both really aren't top of the list for quality !!!

My favorite Cooper product is probably the Verdeon. It is LED, but they're very reliable compared to their other offerings.
