28 күн бұрынNot my fixture, but fun to make a video about. The owner is a good friend of mine. This has been converted to 400w MV/MH, but can be HPS by using a retrofit lamp. I also have a video of that, for those interested.

Being from Chicago, I remember those fixtures quite well. The majority of conversion to HPS lighting occurred during the late '70s/early '80s.

Crime was not gone, but at least it became visible. :D

Studies typically suggest a proper streetlighting program reduces crime around 20%. The whole idea of these fixtures was to blast light in every possible direction. I’m planning on getting more of these but once again shipping is an absolute pain in the ass.

Clearly it did not work for ShitCockBlow, as the crime continued to get worse into the 80s and 90s.

places with bad infrastructure tend to be poor, poorer places tend to have more crime. sounds like both have common cause rather then a brighter light banishing criminals.

Not at all funded and supervised by a company like StreetLighting Standard&Co right?

I'm searching very hard for one of these!!! I would most likely convert it to a smaller 200 Watt HPS ballast/lamp

good for you, I guess? You really won't enjoy my channel then, I don't collect a lot of LEDs
