| @thelightingman, Yuck! This is all the more reason that LEDs were rushed and pushed out before they were actually proven reliable.

No problem. I wonder if it's the American Electric Lighting Contempo Series 245L? I think that might be the one, looks very much like it (I just need to take a closer look at one of them sometime) |

| @LightsoftheWest:
Yep taking a good look at those, they're deff AEL Contempo 245L's.
Gonna give AEL credit for making a nice LED fixture on this one.
I am actually liking these better than the GE P17M's they replaced.
(ofcourse big question will be what's the quality like? that's gonna take years before you know. The P17M's certainly were reliable)

| Today I went to the basketball court at Prescott Park in Meredith and saw that the 4 Halogen floodlights lighting the court were all replaced by small LED Floodlights. Lucky, the older halogens lighting the baseball field are still up.
Also, Concord's conversion is in full swing with most side roads having LED, main roads are still HPS for now. I'm going to try to email the city and try to get a couple 50w M250As.

| The Pizza Hut in Tilton has recently replaced their MH Archetype Looking Shoeboxes with Generic looking glarebombs. The neighboring store has the same lights that are retrofitted and those haven’t been replaced, let’s hope they at least remain.

| Also to note, it's probably been this way for a couple months but the Gilford Hannaford has converted all of their indoor fluorescent fixtures to LED. It looks like they replaced the old lights altogether instead of installing those LED conversion kits.

| A local office building that is two stories near my house got LEDized.
Unfortunately, they hired Dimwit Lighting Solutions LLC who installed cheap LED wallpacks to replace some Metal Halide architectural half-circle up / down lights around the exterior of the building. The new fixtures are total glarebombs and produce tons of light trespass onto the residential homes surrounding the building (it’s on a former gas station lot). The setup looks unprofessional which doesn’t go with the building’s architectural design.

| Recently a few more cities have been trying out LED luminaries, in this case is it’s now Santa Fe Springs, CA. Although this city has been pretty late in terms of upgrading since almost every neighboring community has already done so, they have installed a group of GE(Daintree) ERLHs on Florence Ave near the newly constructed overpass for the I-5. I’m assuming they’re 4000K.

Well here’s something that doesn’t surprise me at all. A Liberty Utilities gas building had a pole with 4 HPS M400As (I think 400w) that were slowly burning out one by one until the last one went out. Today I went by to find them all replaced by Generic Flyswatters. Wouldn’t surprise me if they were the typical 5000K glarebomb POS. I knew this was coming but yet I never photographed the old lights.  |

| Saw four generic LED flyswatter area lights at an auto repair shop that had replaced U.S. Architectural Lighting Versalux shoeboxes about a week ago. All four of the Versaluxes had been EOL for a very long time. On the other hand, all four of the LED's work.

| A rite aid in Farmington had 2 poles, each holding 2 MH M1000s. Recently one of the arms broke off the poles. I drove by yesterday to find the fixtures all replaced by Cree Traveyos, interesting enough they installed new arms for all the fixtures on the existing poles. Glad some place had some common sense as to what fixtures should be chosen.

A lot of the heritage-style SON lighting around my local town survived the wave of the LED conversion until recently. Just last week they replaced all of the remaining ones in a large sweep, as they were all still standing strong when I was last there! I've attached a before and after shot of one of the Sugg Windsor lanterns, (I was going to post one of my own photos of the before shot, but I either can't find it or I never even took it, so I've provided a google street view shot instead) There were also some Davis PT1044 lanterns that also got removed, and a few unknown but "newer" SON lanterns that got replacement gear trays and photocells instead of their entire fittings being removed which was quite interesting! It's quite a shame that this had to happen, but it was never about "if" they get replaced but a "when" and it seems that my council has just recently stopped doing re-lamps of the fluorescent sign lighting and they now just install Simmonsigns LED gear trays into pre-existing 11W PL-S ones  |
