1) Average life under engineering data with lamps turned off and restarted once every 12 operating hours.
2) Protective coating may reduce actual lumens by up to 5%.
Above specifications are subject to change without notice.
WARNINGS:
• Coating can withstand bulb wall temperatures up to 500°F, subject to the following conditions:
1) Lamp must be installed and operated in ambient temperature below 150°F.
2) Lamp is not used in fixture that does not allow heat dissipation.
• UV radiation emitted from metal halide lamps may deteriorate the coating over time.
• The coating is not designed to contain an arc-tube rupture
• Under extreme conditions glass fragments may escape the coating
• Only protective shrouded lamps are resistant to metal halide non-passive failure.
RECOMMENDED WARNINGS, CAUTIONS,AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For Standard Metal Halide Lamps (Enclosed Fixtures Unless Otherwise Noted)
R
“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.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube rupture occur are
commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.
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.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE RE-
SULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE FOLLOWING LAMP
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn off lamps at least once a week for at least 15 minutes in systems which are operating on a continuous basis
(24 hours/day-7days/week). FAILURE TO TURN OFF LAMPS
FOR THE MINIMUM RECOMMENDED
TIME MAY INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN INNER ARC-TUBE RUPTURE.
2.
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.
3. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid electrical
shock and potential burn hazards.
4. 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.
5. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches, cracks or damage.
6. If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the support electrically to avoid possible decomposition of
the bulb glass.
7. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.
8.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.
9. Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.
10. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the
contents or fragments.
11. Do not use this lamp:
A. In a fixture that contains a Pulse Start metal halide ballast.
B. In a fixture that is specifically designed for use with Pulse Start metal halide lamps.Operation of these lamps
on Pulse Start Metal Halide systems may increase the chance of an outer bulb rupture 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.
