1) Measured at 100 hrs of life in vertical position.
2) Approximate lumen output at 40% of lamps rated average life.
3) Rated average life is obtained at 50% survival rate.
4) Measured at rated lamp watts on a linear reactor or electronic ballast. LPW does not include ballast losses.
5) Measured with the lamp operating at rated watts.
Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
“WA NING: These lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation
from short wave ultra-violet 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)
I
f 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.
WA NING: The arc-tube of metal halide lamps are designed to operate under high
pressure and at temperatures up to 1000°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, THE E IS A ISK OF PE SONAL INJU Y, P OPE TY
DAMAGE, BU NS AND FI E.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube
rupture occur are commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.
ELAMP FIXTU ES AT O BEFO E THE END OF ATED 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 less
than 25 nCi of Kr-85 and is distributed by
Philips Lighting Company,
a division of Philips Electronics North
American Corporation.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DA AGE, BURNS AND FIRE RESULTING FRO AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE
FOLLOWING LA P OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UST 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. Use only in an enclosed fixture capable of withstanding particles of glass
having temperatures up to 1000°C.
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.
C. All Pulse Start lamps require a socket rated to withstand a 4,000 volt pulse
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 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. Use this lamp only in fixtures that contain a Pulse Start metal halide ballast and
are specifically designed for use with Pulse Start metal halide lamps.
