Ordering, Electrical and Technical Data
1) 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. For HPS lamps with a rated average life of 18,000 hours, life is based on survival of 67% of the lamps.
2) easured at 100 hours of life in vertical operating position.
3) Approximate mean lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life. easured in vertical operating position.
4) Approximate color temperature in Kelvin degrees.
Above specifications subject to change without notice.
Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
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 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 surrounding environment. If
such a rupture were to happen, THERE I A RI K OF
PER ONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BURN 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 FIXTURE 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.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, PROPERTY DA AGE, BURNS AND FIRE
RESULTING FRO AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE
FOLLOWING LAMP OPERATING IN TRUCTION
UST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING IN TRUCTION :
1. Turn off lamps at least once a week for at least 15
minutes in systems which are operating on a continuous
basis (24 hours/day-7days/week). FAILURE TO TURN
OFF LA PS FOR THE INI U RECO ENDED
TI E AY INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN
INNER ARC-TUBE RUPTURE.
2. RELA P 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.
3. Use only in an enclosed fixture capable of withstanding
particles of glass having temperatures up to 1000ºC.
4. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off
and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid electrical
shock and potential burn hazards.
5. 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.
6. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any
lamps that show scratches, cracks or damage.
7. If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the
support electrically to avoid possible decomposition of
the bulb glass.
8. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture,
corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.
9. 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.
10. Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if
there is a power interruption.
11. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an arc
tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the
contents or fragments.
12. Do not use this lamp:
A. In a fixture that contains a Pulse Start metal
halide ballast.
B. In a fixture that is specifically designed for use with
Pulse Start metal halide lamps.
Operation of these lamps on Pulse tart Metal
Halide systems may increase the chance of an
outer bulb rupture and pieces of extremely hot
glass might be discharged into the surrounding
environment. If such a rupture were to happen,
THERE I A RI K OF PER ONAL INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURN AND FIRE.

Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
WARNING: These lamps must be operated in fixtures
designed for use with High Pressure Sodium lamps.The
fixture wattage rating must match the wattage indicated
on the outer glass bulb. 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 glass is struck. Operating the lamp
improperly may result in PER ONAL INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURN AND FIRE.
1. If the outer glass bulb is broken, shut off power
immediately and remove the lamp after it has cooled.
2. 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.
3. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture,
corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.
4. Replace the lamp if the outer glass bulb has been
scratched, cracked or damaged in any way.
5. If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the
support electrically so as to avoid possible decomposi-
tion of the bulb glass.
6. Do not use this lamp in a fixture which redirects a
substantial portion of the energy toward the arc tube
and its immediate vicinity, as this may lead to very early
lamp failure.
7. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If arc tube
is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the contents
or fragments.
8. The arc tube of this lamp contains sodium and mercury.
Dispose of in accordance with federal, state and
local requirements.
