There is actually very few dayburners around here.It doesn't really bother me as I don't see dayburners too often.If there is one,it's taken care of pretty quick.I rather see a dayburner than a fixture that is not working at all.It would be more of a waste of energy if there is a whole string of lights dayburning.

I have never seen any dayburning streetlight in here Finland. Because in here, streetlights are centraly controlled. Those dont have own photocell. In smaller place(small villages etc) there is usually normal photocell somewhere wich control all streetlights nearby. In bigger place like Rovaniemi(thats where I live) there is bigger system. there usually are 50-200 streetlight in one control unit depending on location. All control units are remotely controlled. They did have some problem whit that system couple of years ago. Streetlights went off and then back on(of course after they cooled down) randomly couple of times in week. this usually happened in area of 1-3 random control unit each time. Nobody knows why the system did this but after half of year they got it fixed. So no dayburning streetlights in here Finland.

As I mentioned before,there are very few dayburners here,but I just remembered though, about 1 1/2 years ago along the freeway, the street lights at a rest-stop that would be maintained by the highways department were dayburning for almost a year! There was aproximately 15 X 250W HPS fixtures.

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!

Quote from: Brian on April 15, 2009, 03:45:36 PM I almost never see dayburners here on Long Island.  I would say in the last year I have only seen one.  There are MANY cycling HPS fixtures here though...which bothers me much more than seeing one dayburn. I remember riding on road with a bunch of holophanes on every pole and a few were cyclers...kinda a cool thing to see I must admit

I do see dayburners once in a while around here. It may take days or months before they're serviced.

Why I like LEDs on top of other lighting tech?
LEDs = Upgrade 95% of the applications. (That is if you avoid eBay's LEDs).

LED brainwash? No, people uses them cuz they work well for them.
