Westinghouse 400w Mercury Vapor /W (White)

Lamp is at about 30% run-up on M-57 metal-halide ballast. At full brightness, it appears to have a very pleasant color. This is the first "new" /W lamp I have seen up close. The red rendering doesn't seem as bad as I'd imagined.

With a cobrahead, you can achieve the effect of a /N lamp with a /DX MV lamp and a browned out polycarbonate lens. I do that in my room sometimes. Right now I have my 175W MV M-250R1 in my room with a clear lamp and a busted browned out lens, so it's a yellowish green color with a streak of blue-white through the center of the refractor where the refractor split open about 1/4". It had a crack and I dropped it and split it so now it can mimic pacman, not quite cracked in two, but split down the middle with only the backside holding the two halfs together lol.
