Hm. I don't know why they don't like GE much. GE lumes will out last Cooper or AEL lights.

These days I wouldn't count on it, GE are also much more expensive and don't have an unpainted option, that's likely a large reason.

This one was probably installed by MTO when they reconstructed the Bayview Ave. and Hwy. 7 overpass in the mid 90s.

I've noticed that some streetlights at intersections get GEs though.
As well I've seen some more recent installs.

GE fixtures are king here in Southern CA, SCE installs only GEs nowadays.

My area actually has quite a bit of variation, we have GE, Westinghouse, Powerlite, Cooper, AE, McGraw Edison, and even Hubbell lights in use. Shocked

GE M-250R2

Here's a relatively uncommon GE M-250R2 in my area, they're not that common here since the utility prefers AE and Cooper lumes, along with Powerlite back when they were still made.
