Considering using enclosed rated metal halide lamps in 1920s schoolhouse lights « on: March 06, 2021, 04:16:39 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
I personally have a strong appreciation of 1920s and 1930s schoolhouse pendant fixtures due to their design. In addition, I also like HID lighting in general. I am wondering if the milk glass shades commonly used on such fixtures will be able to survive the violent EOL explosion of an enclosed rated metal halide lamp?

I personally wouldn't risk it. I'd use an open rated lamp in an antique fixture.
