Guess what light this is...

Hi all,
Here's how this one will work:
Poster 1 describes a light or bulb, and the next person has to guess the name. The next person also posts hints for the next thing.
Example:
Buzzes, bright, non dark sky friendly, soon to be banned...
POSTER 2:
answer : MV
ORANGE, CAUSES SKYGLOW...

HPS. (BTW, MV gives off very little light pollution!)

White, may explode...

Greenish light with an incredibly long life, but blamed for problems it is not really responsible for.

Mercury Vapor 

Yellow, bright, no color rendering

HPS
----------------------
came after the ITT model 13 and before the AEL 115

HPS

Wrong: it is actually LPS (HPS actually has a minor color rendering)


AEL 113

Disgusting, cheap, and somehow "durable"...

[Mike]

Yes, 113

This GE light was later renamed the M-250A2 after its wattage capacity was increased.

M-250/M-250A

(don't know too much about street lights)

Lightweight, small, not very efficient (but claimed to be)...

[Mike]

The GE M-150A. You can see what one looked like below
