Lamp
Make sure fixture is cool and disconnected from power mains before any service.
Do not touch the lamp glass with bare fingers. Wear eye protection when handling lamp.
When operating, always allow the lamp to cool at least 5 minutes before attempting to re-strike
the lamp. Not doing so can cause damage to the fixture and lamp. This fixture uses a 575w
Metal Halide Discharge lamp. Either a CSR575/2SE from GE or a MSR575/2 from Phillips can
be fitted. Both lamps have an average rated life of 1000 hours. The lamp manufacturer
determines the rated lamp life under specific test conditions. Factors such as the number of
strikes, lamp orientation, line voltage and lamp temperature all affect the actual number of hours a
lamp will operate. Lamp temperature is the most controllable and with routine cleaning and
maintenance, can be kept in the optimal range to allow the maximum possible life. As Discharge
lamps age, the glass envelope becomes weaker increasing the chance of failure due to the high
internal pressures. Rupture could result in damage to the fixture and/or injure people nearby.
Lamp manufacturers state operating a lamp beyond its rated number of hours constitutes a
considerable risk for lamp rupture. Lamp manufacturers recommend lamps be replaced once the
rated life of a lamp has been reached.
