POCO here is installing all new street lighting in township. All cobra heads being replaced with nice 150 watt induction luminaires, even powder coated in light green.
I've installed a few such -expensive- lights in areas that were hard to access for maintenance. That's the real plus: almost nothing to wear out over time.
Luminaires were about $4K ... had to be exp prf .... looks just like a MH light ... engineer spec'd, tiny part of job ( was building CNG fueling facility)
I have used in France with very hard to reach and tunnel luminaire both work very well as I expected and they can come on pretty fast but just a breif warm up once it stay on it look pretty good the colour itself is simuair to 41K MH's
The bulb life yeah I am aware it can go 100,000 hours before burn out but the question is the ballast I heard rumors some only last 50K hours but not confirmed.
Merci,Marc
Pas de problme,il marche n'est-ce pas?"(No problem, it works doesn't it?)
Induction operates at 1/2 of the wattage of HID, lasts up to 100,000 hours and has 80+ CRI light. I like to think of LED quality light at 1/4 of the costs.
We are a manufactures rep and picked up the product line once we had some fantastic success on a couple of jobs.

Unless you've been running thousands of the units for 22+ years, you can't say with any certainty that these things will pass the test of time. We'll see.
