Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions
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.
Apartial 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 I A RI K OF PER ONAL INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURN AND FIRE.
This lamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas
containing less than 41 nCi of Kr-85 and is distributed
by Philips Lighting Company, a division of Philips
Electronics North America Corporation, omerset,
New Jersey, 08875.
CAUTION:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONA INJURY,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE RESU TING
FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE FO OWING
AMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FO OWED.
LAMP OPERATING IN TRUCTION :
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. amp color
is also subject to change under conditions of excess
vibration or shock, and color appearance may vary
between individual lamps.
4. amps 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. amp should not be used with dimmers.
9. Protect lamp, lamp socket and wiring against moisture,
corrosive atmosphere and excessive heat. amp should
be used in dry locations only.
These lamps may be used in open fixtures.

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.
2) Maximum Beam Candlepower.
3) CA TION: New construction should allow for the current used by these lamps. Because of a power factor
of 0.57 in the ballast of the lamp, the lamp uses .36 amps.
4) Measured at 100 hrs. life.Approximate lumen values listed are for vertical operation of the lamp.
5) Approximate lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.
This product utilizes ALTO®Lamp Technology. ALTO products pass the S EPA's Toxicity Characteristic Leaching
Procedure (TCLP) and can be classified as non-hazardous waste. Check with state and local regulations.
