Specific Precautions for Metal Halide Units
175-watt Metal Halide Wobblelight
®
400-watt Metal Halide Wobblelight
®
WARNING!
The following instructions must be followed in order to avoid the risk of personal injury, property damage and poor lamp performance.
I.
RUPTURE RISKS: Metal halide lamps are constructed of an outer glass bulb with an internal arc-tube. Metal halide arc-tubes operate at high
pressure and at very high temperatures and can unexpectedly rupture due to internal causes or external factors such as ballast failure or
misapplication. An arc-tube rupture can burst and shatter the outer glass bulb resulting in the discharge of glass fragments and extremely hot
particles. In the event of such a rupture, THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE.
TO REDUCE THESE RISKS:
1. Only operate lamp in the enclosed Wobblelight
®
fixture with dome and cap installed and free of damage.
2. Only operate lamp with compatible ballast (see bulb manufacturer catalog or contact Wobblelight
®
for specific information).
3. Only operate lamp in the upright operating position.
4. Lamp must be turned off for a minimum of 15 minutes at least once per week.
5. Never expose an operating lamp to moisture such as rain, sleet or snow.
6. Replace lamp if outer glass is scratched, cracked or damaged in any way.
7. Replace lamp at or before the end of rated life (see bulb manufacturer catalog for rated life).
8. To avoid risk of serious eye injury from the intense light, do not stare at the operating lamp.
II.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND BURN HAZARD: Do not remove or insert lamp while power is on. If outer glass is broken, shut off power immediately
and remove lamp after it has completely cooled.
III.
ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION EXPSOURE: WARNING: Metal halide lamps can cause skin burn and eye inflammation from shortwave
ultraviolet radiation if the 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. The following designated Wobblelight
®
metal halide lamps conform to federal regulations 21
CFR 1040.30 (USA) and S0R/80-381 (Canada):
