†
* Relamp fixtures at or before end of rated average life.
† The 2005 NEC states that luminaires that use a metal halide lamp shall be provided with either a containment
barrier that encloses the lamp (historically referred to as an enclosed luminaire) or shall be provided with a
means, typically a special lampholder, that will only accept ANSI Type-O metal halide lamp. (Exception—this
requirement will not apply to open luminaires with thick-glass parabolic reflector PAR lamps.) For more
information regarding use of Type-O, S, and E metal halide systems, please refer to the NEMA white paper
on this subject that is freely available at www.nema.org
