Two Early 50W HPS GE lamps

The one on thr right won't strike. It won't do anything actually. Totally dead. The one on the left works. These particular ones had a very high failure rate according to Joe. See how there are no caps on the arctube? The 80s 50W HPS lamps were pretty poorly made since they were still being experimented with.

Anyway, they must have perfected the 50W HPS by the 90s because I see 50W lights here with their original lamps and PCs from the early 90s here. One near me with a baby blue PC.
