SOX lantern is still working great. The polished reflector works very well. I was also investigating the feasability of retrofitting SOX lamps into the wallpacks in the back parking lot at work to save a ton of money.

  • @yuandrew Thanks for the info on the LPS wallpack. I wonder how much they go for. The ones in use in the back lot are 400W MH packs and a 35W SOX lamp would fit in them pretty easily. The advantage in the case of the retrofit would be that I could make a reflector customized for SOX lamps that would help focus the light down, rather than just running a flat surface and depending mostly on the refraction of the lens.

  • I've seen that style wallpack fixture in 35 watt LPS before on some industrial warehouses near my old workplace. They are noticeably wider though to accommodate the longer LPS lamp. You may be able to fit a 35 watt LPS in the larger wallpacks out back assuming they currently have a 250 or 400 watt metal halide.

    By the way, Hubble does make a wallpack called the "Scottsdale" that is designed for low pressure sodium lamps. It's available as a 35 or 55 watt version.
