When were General Electric’s HID products were actually discontinued? « on: November 28, 2024, 05:01:01 PM » Author: Milwaukeeman2003
Just wondering why everyone says they were discontinued at different times, like 2016, 2020, etc. I get confused by this so I just want the most accurate information. Thanks!

Interesting! Thanks for the list.

I wonder when were the Crimefighters discontinued? I've heard varying years, but usually around 2016-2017.

Interesting that the M-400R2 and M-400A2s were discontinued before the M400 and M400A. I wonder if they were also discontinued between 1997 and 2008, or did they just become a uncatalogued item during those years.

Forgot to clarify that the M-400 and M-400A in question are the final generations. The M-400A2 and M-400R2 were uncatalogued up until the mid 2010's when they showed up on the website.

The sad part is other than the cobras / NEMAs / floods, all of those other GE products seemingly go under appreciated or aren’t collected.

On the way back machine you can download most of the spec sheets, instructions, datasheets, and brochures. also on there, you can download ALADAN which was their lighting design software.

@Milwaukeeman2003- Here is the link to the homepage of the wayback machine. https://web.archive.org/
Here is a link to page where you choose the time that you want to view your chosen website. https://web.archive.org/web/20150601000000*/www.Gelightingsolutions.com
And here is the GE website from 2015. https://web.archive.org/web/20150327162146/http://www.gelighting.com/LightingWeb/na/

You can do this with nearly any website past or present, just be aware, some pages won't work.

@LightsoftheWest- After poking around on Currents website, I realized that the town and country is still made in LED!
