They started converting the existing MV to HPS in the 90s.  New installations in the 80s and 90s were mostly HPS.

Quote from: Econolite03 on October 10, 2022, 06:44:42 AM The series TJ Hooker is a good one. It features old lighting stuff in 1980s Los Angeles. Apparently, LA experimented with LPS at one point in time from what I saw in a episode (don’t remember which). That is correct.  LA and several other communities in California did indeed try LPS for awhile.  They even had a display about it at one of their science museums as well as at an space observatory museum-  The LPS were highly praised because of the low light pollution they emitted, which made looking at the stars easier.  When I was a boy my family visited that museum during a vacation trip to LA and Disneyland.  I remember all the LPS lamps and was very amazed by them.

I just found this today. It's at the end of a grassy field, next to a highway on ramp. Anyone know why they do this?

Fixture may have blown off, or they are repairing it or waiting for a new one, or decided to just remove it and leave the pole standing for now.
