About 27 years ago, I replace flood lights on my house with a
high-pressure sodium light with a dusk to dawn sensor.
Great deal! traded 300 watts for 35 watts.
I started with two. But over the years one died. I had tried replacing
bulb but no luck. So I did without.]
Now the last one died.
I hesitate to buy a bulb that may or may not work. So I am looking for
a new fixture. But I am having a difficult time.
Does anyone know where I can get a 35-50w high pressure sodium light
and fixture that has a dusk to dawn eye and can mount under my eaves.
Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

I have tried Home Depot and searched on Internet. The guy at Home
Depot told me that they did not carry those anymore. They had a lot of
Mercury Vapor but not HPS.
Searching on the internet, I seem to get lost in the various stores
that offer lots of lighting but I cannot seem to zero in on what I am
looking at.
I think I am suffering from two many options and not being savvy
enough to sort through them.

X-No-Archive: Yes
This is the only place I could find on the web that sells HPS flood
lights dirt cheap, but only in 70W version...
http://www.e-conolight.com/
or check on ebay for 35W ones. For some reason 35W hps fixtures and
lamps are harder find than other wattages.
The easiest and least expensive thing to do is to repair the existing
35w flood lights yourself or give/send it to someone who can repair
it. Judging by your description it sounds like a bad starter (three
wire device may be a small can or circuit board)...easy to replace or
repair.
So many HPS and pulse start metal halide fixtures get send to the
scrap yard all the time bacause of faulty starters/ignitors.
