I never bring up the context of lighting to the public, due to that in the days that we live we will find someone that will make fun of you for this, and will do it untill your just tired and dead of it (I know what I'm talking about). I just don't talk about it, I keep it private. Only people from my family,  or someone who I strongly trust and know him / them for a long time.

As well, I know that people on this platform that I don't know well will see me talking about lighting, but this is a lighting platform 

Nothing has ever really challenged to me, I don't lie and say that I'm not interested in lights, but I just don't bring it up.

I have gotten some funny looks on the bus carrying an Eleco post top, but nothing serious lol.

@Walter Knox - You've got to age that clear lamp like cheese for it to create a greenish light like gorgonzola!

I have multiple 247s, yes.

I have bored my friends to death with endless streetlight facts for a very long time, I believe since kindergarten 😆 i am still teased for being a Enthusiast today 😢

Dy emission is usually proportional to the CsI dose.  Cs does not really participate in the discharge but it causes arc fattening which brings the plasma closer to the lower wall, raises the salt temperature, and vaporises more DyI3 into the plasma.  Not all smaller Chinese lamp producers may fully understand this interaction.

The arc here looks pretty constricted and curved, so I guess not enough CsI.

It is impossible to tell any further without having the lamp in hands and measuring it with a calibrated spectrometer. Leak does not show up immediately, sometimes blue/yellow oxidation on the internal leads may be visible (though, some OK lamps show this too, air remaining at processing probably) and lamp burning voltage may be abnormal.

If you do ever get a photo of the replacement, or another ION, I'd love to see.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the replacement, but I have a picture of one of the ones that was replaced with it? Here it is
