I agree with you, Jace. That is really weird shape lamp Razz Looks like ED shaped bulb with A-type neck shape envelope Confused

That is weird! Btw yep I agree about the quality of current GE MH lamps, the one in the wallpack by my mom's condo lasted only a year! In yours the arctube support looks terribly assembled.
GullWhiz   [Sep 20, 2011 at 06:32 PM]
My guess for poor quality...is to disencourage people using probe start MHs and use Pulse start MH....

From what I am told for the GE lamp lines.....the Probe start MH is the worst.....the GE MV today is so so.....Philips were a lot better for MV.....and GE HPS lamps are good!

Yes these lamps are pieces of %#^@! I cant even start to tell you how many I have been back to change within a year already since we started using them. I find more of these burnt out more often than I find burnt out Philips lamps! It's really sad the lack of quality that you get with items these days! nobody takes pride in workmanship anymore. It's all about how can we save a penny here and there.

Two words; ugly, crap!

It's no wonder utility companies avoid these, I've seen alot of modern metal halide lamps fail prematurely.

What a odd looking lamp, I actually thought the one in my pic was a defective MH lamp. Laughing

The shape makes the arctube look of center.

This lamp shape is very Fugly to me. Razz
streetlight98   [Sep 21, 2011 at 12:09 AM]
i think its kinda cool. i wonder if there was a reason for making the lamp shape different thoguh.

It looks like a strangled ED lamp Laughing

Wow looks like the old ge halarc lamps i see at meijers under the overhang

Recently, I have noticed some of these bulbs are used out in the sidewalk fixtures at Southern Polytechnic State University where I currently attending. I'll let you guys know how long it last Razz
GullWhiz   [Nov 23, 2011 at 11:48 PM]
Those bulbs are used in my area.....I have noticed those are a bit greener and a little dimmer than most common 175 watt MH....so a bit of a clear MV "look" but the problems with those are early failures so far from what I have heard and seen....only few months....
LilCinnamon   [Dec 02, 2011 at 08:31 AM]
Why did they make the lamp shape like this? And I can see why these lamps suck. I bet lots of them are out in the parking lot where that OVX was at,
GullWhiz   [Dec 28, 2011 at 09:55 PM]
I am not sure why it was shaped like this..
