Another reason to move away from HPS
"Oh really...? Big mistake not knowing what you're talking about."
Excuse me, sir. LPS outputs far more lumens versus HPS, which is why it's preferred in highway/parking lot/street/airport lighting. He most certainly DOES know what he's talking about.
Call my pal Jason Chambers of Memphis Concrete Cutting at (901) 365-9331. We used to install the things.
LPS = 180+ l/w, HPS = 140-150 l/w.
LPS is better for human visual purposes, or at least perceptibly brighter, which is EXACTLY WHY it's used in street lamps.
You only usually see HPS/MH in camera-recorded parking lots where color rendition is a requirement for video surveillance.
Really, Rusty, I also would have thought you'd know that LPS is used specifically because of the lower light pollution as well, which is why they're the *ONLY* choice of light used around astronomical observatories.
