Got an authorization to send it back via UPS on their dime. They said they are going to check their stock.
GE-4556 available again!

LarryK and I talked last night and while doing so, he took a lightmeter reading of a ceiling bounce test he did with two of his LarrK lights - one using the genuine GE 4556 and another with the Norman 4556. The genuine GE lamp produced a much higher reading on his meter. 235 for the Norman versus 387 for the GE.

Hmmm. Not good.
Will be interesting to hear what Norman say.

Once again, pardon my ignorance, but after reading through this thread, am I to understand I could adapt this bulb to fit in my gutted VSS-3, as long as I can power it? No ballast?
Gadzooks, Aquaman, I might be on to something after all these years!

Bill, just think of this lamp as an old 1970's, round, sealed beam car headlight on steroids. It simply needs needs 28-30 Volts DC from any type of power source - battery, DC power supply, ect. It's 8" round with the built-in reflector.

BVH did you end up hearing back about the under performing 4556?
My "hearing back" was to get a full refund and that "they had to check it out". I emailed a while after but never got a response.
