) Measured at 100 hrs of life in vertical position.
2) Measured at rated lamp watts on a linear reactor or electronic ballast. LPW does not include ballast losses.
3) Rated average life is obtained at 50% survival rate. For horizontal operation: (a) Frame up: optimum 20k hrs lifetime. (b) +/- 90 degree w.r.t. frame up: estimated lifetime: 90% of rated life.
(
c) +/- 135 degree w.r.t frame up: estimated lifetime: 80% of rated life. (d) >135 degrees w.r.t. frame up: estimated lifetime: 65% of rated life.
4) Measured with the lamp operating at rated watts.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS,AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

“WARNING: These lamps can cause serious skin
burn and eye inflammation from short wave ultra-
violet 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 surround-
ing environment. If such a rupture were to happen,
THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL 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.
If a lamp is burned in a horizontal position, a rotation of
the lamp over more than 90º around the lamp axis in
the sockets can increase the risk that the arc tube will
rupture.This holds during operation as well as after a
cooling period after switching off the lamp. If one wishes
to rotate the lamp over more than 90º around the lamp
axis, one should do so in steps of less than 90º and let the
lamp burn for at least 2 hours between each step.
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 less than 20 nCi of Kr-85
and is distributed by Philips Lighting Company,
a division of Philips Electronics North
American Corporation.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE
RESULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE
FOLLOWING LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING 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 an enclosed fixture capable of
withstanding particles of glass having temperatures
up to 1000°C.
3. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off
and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid
electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
4. Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips and/or
ANSI standards. Use within voltage limits recom-
mended 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 lamps require a socket rated to
withstand a 4,000 volt pulse
5. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any
lamps that show scratches, cracks or damage.
6. If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate
the support electrically to avoid possible
decomposition of the bulb glass.
7. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against
moisture, corrosive atmospheres and
excessive heat.
8. 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.
9. Lamps may require 10 minutes to re-light if there is a
power interruption.
10. Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an
arc tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of
the contents or fragments.
11. 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.
