➊ No. 2285 heat sink screens must be used with T-8 and T-12 800-milliamp maximum HO lamp bases. Two heat sink screens required per sleeve (one at each
end between lamp and sleeve). HO lamps create excessive heat at the ends. The open metal mesh of the heat sink screens spreads the excess heat over a
larger area to help eliminate deterioration of the sleeve. NOT for use with VHO lamps.
➋ NOT for use with HO or VHO lamps.
