An ode to SOX
« on: November 16, 2018, 06:03:39 pm »
We saw a lonely SOX light
It was a wonderful sight
That soft amber glow
That we will soon forego
He was holding his own
But will soon be overthrown
By the march of LEDs
That the government decrees

LED lighting has its place in the home or other indoor uses, but outdoors in street lights is in my opinion not one of them.

I don't completely dislike LED's, I just don't like them for street lighting.

I like watching old HPS lamps warm up.

That's good to know, unfortunately around here pretty much everything has been replaced with LED  :-\

There are still a few side streets with HPS, but the way things are going they're not long for this world  :(
