@Mefurd98, the Lowes store across the street from the Home Depot close to where I live, has been saved for now. No LED infestation yet, but it's only a matter of time. I know they'll fail and get LED's too. But as of now everything at the front of the building, besides the Lowes sign on the building, is completely old school. It's almost like stepping back in time. No lighting changes yet. Fun fact: Right in front of that Lowes parking lot, there's a Tornado Siren. I don't understand why they'd put a siren near/on a parking lot of any kind, but they did. That is NOT pleasant when that siren is activated, I'm betting.

@Mefurd98, yeah that's actually siren #2 that is closest to my apartment. Siren #1 is actually in the parking lot of West Carrollton High School, which is walking distance from me. I can hear BOTH sirens with ease from my apartment complex... I couldn't imagine how loud those sirens are to those anywhere close to them. But yeah a trip to Home Depot and Lowes will be coming soon for me. Gotta see what changes have been made over the last several years.

Same here. And I see it as irony, that Home Depot uses HPS lighting in the parking and outside the store, since their signature color is orange. Plus Lowes is usually blue color and MH makes a sort of blue/green color.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

I'm pretty sure that it was intentional.

Well then my Home Depot not too far from where I live, is in the rare... because they use Metal Halide... with a mixture of seriously crappy LED bulbs installed into some of those fixtures. However, the back of that Home Depot where the loading docks are... still definitely lit with HPS. The garden center though, is lit with the same parking lot MH shoe box fixtures, but that one has 4 fixtures on one pole. That garden center area is really bright, not surprisingly.
