“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 1000º 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 sur-
rounding environment. If such a rupture were to happen, THERE IS A RISK OF PER-
SONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube
rupture occur are commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.
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.
This lamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas containing Kr-85 and is distrib-
uted by Philips Lighting Company, a division of Philips Electronics North America
Corporation, Somerset, New Jersey, 08875.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BURNS AND FIRE RESULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE FOLLOWING
LAMP OPERA
TING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERA
TING 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 fully enclosed fixtures capable of withstanding particles of glass having tem-
peratures up to 1000ºC. Lens/diffuser material must be heat resistant. Consult fixture
manufacturer regarding the suitability of the fixture for this lamp.
3. Do not operate a fixture with a missing or broken lens/diffuser.
4. Operate lamp only within specified limits of operating position.
5. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and allow lamp and fixture to cool
to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
6. 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. Operate CDM-T (G12 base) and CDM-TC (G8.5 base) lamps only
on thermally protected ballasts.
D. Operate CDM-TC lamps (G8.5 base) only on electronic ballasts.
7. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches, cracks
or damage.
8.
If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the support electrically to avoid possible
decomposition of the bulb glass.
9. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive atmospheres and
excessive heat.
10.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.
11. Lamps may require 4 to 8 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.
12.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc tube is broken, avoid skin contact
with any of the contents or fragments.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
MasterColor®Metal Halide T-6 lamps must be used in combination with appropriate ballast and ignitor or suitable full electronic ballast. For satisfactory
operation of the lamp, the supply voltage should not fluctuate more than ±5% from the rated voltae of the ballast (±10% for electronic ballast).
