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 1000ºC 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 PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube
rupture occur are commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.
RELAMP FIXTURESAT OR BEFORETHE 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 REDUCETHE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY
DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE RESULTING FROMANARC-TUBE RUPTURETHE
FOLLOWING LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED.
Lamp Operating Instructions:
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). FAILURETOTURN
OFF LAMPS FORTHE MINIMUM RECOMMENDEDTIME MAY INCREASE
THE POSSIBILITY OFAN INNER ARC-TUBE RUPTURE.
2) RELAMP FIXTURESAT OR BEFORETHE 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.
C. All Pulse Start mogul based lamps require a socket rated to withstand
a 4000 volt pulse.
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 2 to 4 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) 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.

Electrical Data (
Subject to change without notice)
1) Approximate lumen values listed are for vertical operation of the lamp.
2
) Measured at 100 hours of life in vertical position.
3
) Measured at rated lamps on a linear reactor. LPW does not include ballast losses.
4) Approximate lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.
5) 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.
6) Measured with the lamp operation at rated watts.
