yep i own it now. that colortone lamp. the color from it is pretty nice but it's dimmer than a 40W incandescent lol. runs warm but not hot to the touch. and it instant restrikes too lol.
Yeah that Alto thing is weird. Maybe they can get away with it in a MH lamp because of the other elements? I know that a MV could'nt be reduced mercury without reducing the wattage, voltage, and pressure. And it would be more bluish....like a lamp underdriven.
