for a special wipe to clean the lamp. 

4.  Only install Philips MSD 250 or MSD 250/2 GY9.5 lamp. Any other lamp is not acceptable. 

 

 

 

Procedure: 

 

1.  Unscrew the 3 screws on the top of the housing. The lamp is underneath the plate. Carefully remove 

the metal plate. 

2.  Then unscrew the 2 big screws and gently pull the socket holder using the knob in the middle.

 

3.  Carefully insert the lamp into the socket making sure 

the spring clips secure the lamp socket 

correctly. Then insert the plate back into the fixture and fasten the 2 screws back in place. 

4.  On the plate there are 3 small screws marked 1, 2 and 3. These are used to adjust the lamp. You can 

adjust the 3 screws to fine-tune the position of the lamp. In this way you can achieve the maximum 
output from the lamp

 

 

 

Please remember the lamp is not a hot-restrike type. You must wait for approximately 10 
Minutes, after having turned off the lamp, before you can turn it back on again. 
 

Warning

Never ever operate the lamp when it is not inside the fixture. MSD lamps are volatile and could 

possible explode. Only turn on the fixture with the lamp securely inside the fixture and the cover plate screwed 
on. 

B). Mounting MY 250. 

Method 1: Installation using a C clamp. 
 

The installation must always be secured with a backup safety attachment: namely an appropriate sized safety 
cable. Don’t clamp the safety to a C clamp. That defeats the reason for a safety cable….namely a SEPARATE 
backup to the primary hanging mechanism. 
 
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the 

MY 250

 
Please make sure 

MY 250

 has been installed correctly both from a mechanical and electrical aspect before 

powering up and operating for the first time. Spending a few extra minutes double-checking everything is better 
than rushing to turn the fixture on. 
 
Care should be taken to mount 

MY 250

. Make sure that 

MY 250 

is mounted in such a way that no one can 

touch it directly. For example, when hanging 

MY 250

 make sure it is high enough up not to hit anyone’s head or 

run into any obstruction in its movement. Always keep 

MY 250

 away from any inflammable material.   

Mounting 

MY 250 

is a job that requires qualified personnel with experience. If the personnel doing the 

installation lack these qualifications do not use them to do the installation.
