Lumec will soon discontinue the Helios « on: October 27, 2024, 05:03:36 AM » Author: Milwaukeeman2003
As of last night, I found out that Lumec will be discontinuing the Helios at the end of this year. This will officially mark the end of the Cobrahead era, since only decorative fixtures made by Sentry Electric will possibly still be made.

So far, I am aware that ISB is still producing HID cobrahead luminaires for the Mexican market. I am not sure when they will get discontinued.

I think this statement only pertains to European market mercury free Philips SON high pressure sodium lamps.

From what I am aware of, most high pressure sodium lamps contain trace amounts of mercury.

Yeah, here they need to go into their own waste stream due to the mercury.
