Unistyle with Clear GE Globe
Shown with a clear polycarbonate GE globe. It's basically a plastic sag glass, but it's as deep as a standard prismatic refractor. This is a globe, not a refractor, because there are no prisms, therefore this does not refract light (and thus not a refractor). Anyway, it indeed looks pretty cool when lit! Not really sure of the point of this though since it doesn't really offer any benefits over FCO. Just a little more glare if anything. That's probably why these never caught on.

These refractors are optional on the full cut off M250R2, (M2RC). They're listed in the G.E. catalog.

Okay, thanks for telling me.

No problem. I really don't like these refractors though lol.

I find it pretty neat looking! But hey, we are all entitled to our opinions. Razz

Yeah these are designed to be used with the FCO GE reflectors.
