MV Lit Supermarket!
|
Title says it all! It had very early 70s feel in there! The wall ends were lit by PAR 38 track fixtures! The parking lot fixtures were actually old but had HPS which I believe is one of the early HPS fixtures! It will be posted later! Enjoy this picture and comment away!
By the way it wasn't as green looking like the picture, but the green effect on the picture shows they were MV!

Over here it is very common to simply relamp with metal halide lamps, which is probably what most stores did in the late 80s here. In fact in most grocery stores, MH high bays are used. Some could actually be MV.
Some supermarkets here still install the old style continuous fluorescent striplights but they use T8s now instead of 8' T12 or HO lamps.
I only remember 8' slimlines in grocery stores in the 70s here.
The MHs are much brighter and if they were BT they could be Sylvania branded MHs......my supermarket near me and as well all the other supermarket called "Giant foods" were MH lit (they were mainly GE fixtures with very reflective reflector in mirrored style) and last time I saw them still using them they were Sylvanias in BT shape....they removed most supermarket MH fixtures about 5 years ago too...
