I’ve installed these at work. They have to be the cheapest piece of junk I’ve ever installed. I swear you can crush them with your hands, they are that cheap.

Southern California Edison uses only this POS for LED installations. Not only they're flimsy, they have terrible light distribution. Very focused, leaving the spaces between poles dark. No moon effect. Ugh!

I hoped that GE employed some engineers who knew their job...?

This is what West Penn Power uses too. They're awful. They're very dim too.

These are used in New Hampshire by the NH Electric Co-Op and I agree with all of you; they're very glary and I saw a lot of failures. In RI the only brands of LEDs that have been used for public street lighting are LeoTek toilets (used exclusively on RIDOT's freeways), Cree fixtures (the XSPR series) in places like Providence, West Warwick, North Smithfield, and Central Falls, and AEL round Autobahns in Cranston and I think a couple of towns on the east bay.

I have no complaints about the LeoTek fixtures on the freeway. The pole heights and spacings RIDOT used with the 80s-2015 400W HPS installations work perfect with the fixtures. Minimal dark spots and the distribution is pretty even. RIDOT also used fixtures that are as bright as the old HPS. Very impressed to be totally honest. The Cree fixtures are OK. I noticed more dark spots with them but that could be because wood pole lights are not mathematically spaced from each other like metal pole installations. Basically the wood pole lights are put on poles spaced randomly from each other and the height off the ground can vary greatly too depending on the height of the secondary feed.

I like the round AEL Autobahns Cranston is using (maybe just because I have one, so I've taken a liking to them). They are glary at certain angles but the distribution is very good and the fixtures are built rock-solid. I swear they are bullet proof (on the top housing at least... bottom access door is very thin, but it's not supporting anything). The fixtures aren't flat like most LEDs either; they're shaped like a legit cobrahead, albeit one that looks like it's missing the door.

I've also seen these street lights in Watertown, MA. That's the first town I've seen them in.

Nasty nasty. These things are infecting my area too, and while my neighborhood hasn't been hit yet it probably will be soon (bye-bye 100w HPS model 13s). Even worse is that they are 5000k. They are brighter than the HPS but only light a very narrow strip directly under the light and are very glarey.

I've seen these in places here too (intermixed randomly with other brands/types of LED streetlights).
As far as 'daytime looks' I personally think they look fine. At night they seem a bit glare-bomb-ish, and IDK, maybe its the narrow patch of light thing you guys are talking about...

From the side these look OK but from underneath it looks like it was dropped on the front lol. the front end is flattened looking compared to the rest of the light. Looks awkward and misshaped IMO and the reflector looks weird with all that dead space around it.

I found the older GE ERS Evolve series are not too bad. They look like Westy Tudors from the bottom and light the streets well. The newer ERLs are totally fugly, yet they're popping up all over in SoCal.
