Do you have a link to isbs website? I can't find it.

Here is a link to the ISB website btw:

https://www.isbmex.com/hid.php

I had to do a search in Spanish since the website is all in Spanish. Depending on your browser, there may be a “Translate” function to help you read the site in your native language.

Let me know what you think.

For reference, “VSAP” indicates high pressure sodium, “AM” indicates probe start metal halide, “AM Pulso” indicates pulse start metal halide, and “AMP Cerámicos” indicates ceramic metal halide.

I have a translator on my browser. The apollo looks cool along with all of the GE M400 based luminaires. Oh, and the Lowmount too.

I have a feeling that they’re buying parts from GE.

The high bay fixtures and floodlight fixtures all look GE to me.

seen SOLA BASIC ballasts before - retail in Canada
and for the Helios I understand it always was a VERY EXPENSIVE Cobra to purchase and did NOT find many sales outside of Canada
at this point I dont believe there is ANY utility that has ANY HID on the APPROVED lists for utility fitments and I was told by "in trade" sparkies that a GE EVOLVE "utility" grade streatlight is lower purchase price then a COOPER HID and they are FAR cheaper then the Helios
I wonder what is in store from the factory as it "sounds like" Mexico is NOT going to be a "convenient" place to make consumer goods and the USA / Canada trade might get "spicy" now would be a GOOD time to get the roadfocus BACK in Canada production for Canadian consumption along with the LEDroadway products

I wouldn’t be surprised that other Evolve models are more expensive than a Cooper HID fixture, some probably even more expensive than the Helios.

in Canada there is a lot of "bribery" AKA TAX money for LED VS HID and I assume that money is why an EVOLVE is "so cheap" to install the sparky at work that does some RM work is the one that told me an EVOLVE is cheaper then a HID to buy
