The Provincial Government of Nova Scotia Canada is imposing LED mandate, a legislation probably pushed by self serving motive of the LED industry.
Instead of legislating a performance based requirement, the Government of Nova Scotia chose to give preferential treatment to LED technology.
This kind of non-sense shuts out existing technology that provides superior efficacy over LEDs under operating conditions. Electronically ballasted metal halide mated with properly made optics can provide superior efficacy to existing HID lighting, yet the Government plays favorites by mandating LEDs.
