Because this category has generated the most controversy and will continue to generate controversy among dark sky advocates, city officials and lighting designers, we offer more discussion here than in other categories.
If they are to be used, they should be used with the minimum amount of lumens possible, and be thought of as decoration. Hence they look as good at night as in the day. With too much lumens, no one can see the fixture at night anyway. The problem is trying to do two things with one fixture: historical look and street lighting. The needs are different and should be met by different schemes. If they must be used, then the following examples are much better choices than many others that exist, for they at least do some control of the light output. If design and fixture selection are not carefully done, then glare, light trespass, and energy waste may well be maximized, rather than enhancing ambiance and visibility.
It is essential to understand that there are products available to address the issues of glare, light trespass, uplight, light pollution, energy waste and still provide historic appearance. As so often happens in historical areas or even in older parts of cities and towns, old fixtures are retrofitted with much higher light output lamps (runing the ambiance) or new fixtures are selected with no consideration for optical performance.
These fixtures should be confined to CIE Zone E4: Areas of high ambient brightness. Normally these are urban areas having both residential and commercial use and experiencing high levels of night time activity. Until additional information, is available some notes on cutoff classification had been removed from this section.

This list is in alphabetical order with fixtures manufactured in California listed as California's Golden.
All fixtures listed here are considered to be fully shielded or full cutoff.
Only High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamps are listed refer to catalog for other lamp types.
Only High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamps should be used in this type of fixture.
