Sounds like a lot of supervisor/management types OK residential lighting should not be included by that.  Back home, the vast majority of residential yard lights are NEMA/barn buckets using mercury vapor.  Ya look out into the hills at night and see little points of blueish white light....but....If you are in the hills looking over the city, all you see is a sea of orangish light.  The sky glows orange too.....that's not caused by the barn buckets!

Be sure if the fixtures has a CWI or CWA ballasts, be sure the lamps are compatible with it...... The Iwaski retrofit 360 watt one I have IS compatible with CWI and CWA ballasts....
