What base type does this bulb use?
The GE MVR70/U/MED uses a standard medium screw base (E26), which is the same base size found on most common household light bulbs.

What is the shape of this bulb?
The bulb has an oval (ED17) shape, which is a compact form factor suitable for enclosed fixtures.
Can this bulb be used in open fixtures?
Metal halide bulbs should typically be used in enclosed fixtures for safety, as they operate at high pressure. Always check the fixture manufacturer's requirements before installation.
