1) Approximate lumen values listed are for vertical operation of the lamp.
2) Approximate lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.
3) Measured at 100 hrs of life in vertical position.
4) Measured at rated lamp watts on a linear reactor. LPW does not include ballast losses.
5) Rated average life is the life obtained, on the average, from large representative groups of lamps in laboratory tests under controlled conditions at 10 or more operating hours per start. It is based on survival of at least

50% of the lamps and allows for individual lamps or groups of lamps to vary considerably from the average. For lamps with a rated average life of 24,000 hours, life is based on survival of 67% of the lamps.

6) Measured with the lamp operating at rated watts.

This product utilizes ALTO

®

Lamp Technology. ALTO products pass the US EPA's Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) and can be classified as non-hazardous waste. 

Check with state and local regulations.

“WARNING: 

These lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation from short wave ultraviolet

radiation if outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured. Do not use where people will remain for

more than a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are used. Certain lamps that will
automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is broken or punctured are commercially available.” This lamp
complies with FDA radiation performance standard 21 CFR subchapter J. (USA:21CFR 1040.30
Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)

If the outer bulb is broken or punctured, turn off at once and replace the lamp to avoid possible 
injury from hazardous short wave ultraviolet radiation. Do not scratch the outer bulb or subject it to
pressure as this could cause the outer bulb to crack or shatter. A partial vacuum in the outer bulb may
cause glass to fly if the envelope is struck.

WARNING: 

The arc-tube of metal halide lamps are designed to operate under high pressure and at temperatures

up to 1000º C and can unexpectedly rupture due to internal or external factors such as a ballast failure or 
misapplication. If the arc-tube ruptures for any reason, the outer bulb may break and pieces of extremely hot 
glass might be discharged into the surrounding environment. If such a rupture were to happen, 

THERE IS A

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE. 

These lamps are designed to retain all the glass particles should an arc tube rupture occur. The
following operating instructions are recommended to minimize these occurrences. 

RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED LIFE. Allowing lamps to operate until
they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner arc tube rupture. 

This lamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas containing Kr-85 and is distributed by Philips
Lighting Company, a division of Philips Electronics North America Corporation, Somerset, 
New Jersey, 08875. 

CAUTION: 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE 

RESULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE FOLLOWING 

LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MUST BE FOLLOWED: 

LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED LIFE. Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not 

advised and may increase the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.

2. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid electrical shock and

potential burn hazards.

3. Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips and/or ANSI standards.  Use within voltage limits recommended by 

ballast manufacturer.  

A. Operate lamp only within specified limits of operation.  

B. For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturers electrical data.

C. All Pulse Start mogul based lamps require a socket rated to withstand a 4000 volt pulse.  

4. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches, cracks or damage.  

5. If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the support electrically to avoid possible decomposition of 

the bulb glass.  

6. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.  

7. Time should be allowed for lamps to stabilize in color when turned on for the first time.  This may require several

hours of operation, with more than one start.  Lamp color is also subject to change under conditions of excess 
vibration or shock, and color appearance may vary between individual lamps.  

8. Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.  

9. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the contents 

or fragments.  

10. Use this lamp only in fixtures that contain Pulse Start metal halide ballasts and are specifically designed for use 

with Pulse Start metal halide lamps.
