1) easured at 100 hrs. life. Approximate lumen values listed are for vertical operation of the lamp.
2) Approximate lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.
3) Rated average life is the life obtained, on the average, from large representative groups of lamps in laboratory tests under controlled conditions at 10 or more
operating hours per start. It is based on survival of at least 50% of the lamps and allows for individual lamps or groups of lamps to vary considerably from the average.
4) Caution: New construction should allow for the current used by these lamps. Because of apower factor of .57 in the ballast of the lamp, the lamp uses .36 amps.

Integrated AR 38 Lamps
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 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, THERE
IS A RISK OF ERSONAL INJURY, RO ERTY DAMAGE,
BURNS AND FIRE.
This lamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas containing
less than 41 nCi of Kr-85 and is distributed by hilips Lighting
Company, a division of hilips Electronics North America
Corporation, Somerset, New Jersey, 08875.
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.
LAM O ERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. At high lighting levels or when illuminating light-sensitive materials the use
of an extra UV filter is recommended.
2. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and allow lamp and
fixture to cool to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
3. 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.
4. Lamps may require up to 10 minutes to re-light if there is a
power interruption.
5. Do not operate with an additional ballast, since a ballast is integrated
in the lamp itself.
6. Do not use in totally enclosed recessed fixtures.
7. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc tube is broken,
avoid skin contact with any of the contents or fragments.
8. Lamp should not be used with dimmers.
9. Protect lamp, lamp socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive
atomosphere and excessive heat. Lamp should be used in dry
locations only.
These lamps may be used in open fixtures.
