In my neighborhood we had mostly incandescent street lamps well into the mid 1980's with a few mercury vapor lamps here and there.. Then around 1986 they changed them all out for HP Sodium. I liked the incandescents and the sodiums. They both had a warm relaxing glow that looked awesome silhouetted against the sky on a clear evening. Then a couple years ago came the LED fixtures. Now the entire city is all LED all the way. I don;t like the LED's all that much. The light seems harsh, void and has a nasty glare. They remind me somewhat of the old mercury vapours but with lower light temp and a harder glare. I kind of miss the old HP Sodiums and incandescents.

These will eventually cost more to service than the original fixtures. And there is the added complexity and reliability issues with LED drivers. I'd rather stick with my HID.

+Evan Francis Its a dusk-dawn sensor. Some are grey, some are clear. All do the same thing - turns on the lamp when it gets dark, and off again when it gets bright outside. Not all road lights have them, as some setups have multiple road lamps controlled by one master sensor, usually near the same transformer that feeds that group of lamps on the power pole. When these get dirty or fail, that is when you will see a road light on even during the day. Sparkies tend to call this phenomenon "day burners"
