I wanted a high quality one of these lights because you get tired of climbing up the ladder to replace these lights every two years because the ballast fails. I looked all over for a usa made one but I don't believe they exist anymore. These lights all look identical but you can tell that this one is higher quality than other made in china ones that I have seen. The components fit well together and the internal wiring and ballast look to be well made. Hopefully it will last a long time. I like the 70 watt version because it gives off a nice soft glow without overpowering the night sky.

Hubbell makes a great product. The only negative thing was a dent in the reflector hood. Apparently the packing needs improvement.Best Deals for Hubbell Outdoor Lighting DDS-70S 70-Watt Pulse Start Dusk-To-Dawn
Did the research comparing all of the 'big, pole-mounted' units and purchased this one. (Tried cheaper unit first, DD-70S, but it doesn't come with an arm. So, I returned that one and got this one. The metal housing casting of BOTH units states 'Wall mount only', BUT the DDS model COMES WITH AN ARM and the DD one does not. An arm by itself is not available from the manufacturer! How about if my arm is damaged, say, in a storm?)Anyway, mounted unit on the same tree where my old 150W mercury unit gave up the ghost. Only this unit is mounted lower where I don't need a professional with a bucket truck (for an extra $200 charge) to replace bulb and sensor... about 12 feet up. I can do it for the cost of parts. And HPS puts out not that much LESS light than mercury at 1/2 the wattage!
Well, this unit illuminates my entire driveway circle in front of the house and garages. Also, getting a spare bulb as we lose power a lot. (I can just see me saving $200 bills all over the place! ! !)
