GEs amazing Arcstream! My all time favourite style of metal halide lamps!, however I'd almost given up on this lamp!, but I dug it out of a very dusty box in the loft, where it's sat, unlit since January 2005!, this has to have 5000 of its 6000hr specified life on it now?, note, (for those of us familiar with this lamp), how it has corroded the tiny balls from the end of the electrode shanks away!

These are awesome little lamps considering their wattage. I have a few Thorn ones too.

I ran this one outside from January 04 to January 05 in a slightly modified beta 5 Rolling Eyes , the UV slightly destroyed the bowl, but it looked amazing in a B5!

I would love to run one of these in my patio globe but I'm trying to keep it under 70w!

Arcstream would look amazing in a G6 Very Happy , the lamp wouldn't take long to really yellow the bowl though?, maybe a 70 would work better?
