SYMBOLS & FOOTNOTES FOR HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE (HID) LAMPS
Footnote Description
32 Do not operate on dimming systems. Dimming systems will prevent a lamp the ability to self-extinguish.
33 When operating on a ballast with a sustaining voltage less than 310V, lamp life may be significantly reduced.
34 In general, Horizontal lumen values will be 5-10% lower than the vertical lumen values.
35 Lamps may be operated on ANSI M85 or M98 Compliant ballasts.
36 LU150/100 and LU150/55 lamps are not interchangeable.
37 Lamps may be operated on ANSI M142 or M81 Compliant ballasts.
38 Lamps with a E26 medium skirt base are not compatible with exclusionary medium sockets.
39 Lamps may be operated on ANSI M137 Compliant ballasts.
40 The ULX880 lamp should not be used on any circuit other than 480V H36 mercury reactor.
41 Lamps may be operated on ANSI M132 (320W) Compliant ballasts.
42 Lamps may be operated on ANSI M135 (400W) Compliant ballasts.
43 Use with 4-5kV igniter.
44 Operates at 950 watts on 1000W M47 CWA ballasts
45 For use where seal temperature does not exceed 350C.
46 Please consult with your ballast and fixture manufacturer for compatible systems
47 Lamps may be operated M155 or M135 pulse start ballast with a sustaining voltage greater than 270V
48 The emergence of electronic ballasts to operate metal halide lamps has produced additional need to separate the lamp designation of quartz
and ceramic metal halide lamps, as there can be some important differences in system performance. Therefore the C lamp designation from
NEMA has been introduced going forward for future differentiation of ceramic metal halide lamps and they will begin to be labeled
accordingly.
