FIXTURE REQUIREMENT (continued)
The 2005 NEC also requires that metal halide luminaires for new contruc-
tion/major renovations in the playing and spectator areas of indoor sports,
mixed use, and all purpose facilities, which are subject to physical damage,
must be of a type that protects the lamp with a glass or plastic lens. Open
luminaires will not be permitted. The use of self-extinguishing lamps is still
recommmended and permitted for all existing installations.
For more information regarding the use of Type-O, S, and E metal halide sys-
tems, please refer to the NEMA white paper on this subject that is freely avail-
able at nema.org.
HOT RESTRIKE
In most instances, if an HID lamp experiences a momentary power interrup-
tion or sudden voltage drop, the lamp may extinguish. A lamp that is still hot
will not restart immediately. Because the arc tube within the lamp must cool
down before it can re-start, HID lamps have hot restrike times ranging from
1-15 minutes depending on the product type.
KEY TO DATE OF MANUFACTURE
Consult your SYLVANIA Sales Representative or call 1-800-LIGHTBULB.
LAMP WARNINGS
HID Metal Halide and Mercury lamps are marked with a “T” or “R” on their
packaging. These letters provide safety information about the lamp. Below is
the text used by the FDA to describe each of the letters.
T: WARNING: This lamp should self-extinguish within 15 minutes after the
outer envelope is broken or punctured. If such damage occurs, TURN OFF
AND REMOVE LAMP to avoid possible injury from hazardous shortwave
ultraviolet radiation.
R: WARNING: This lamp can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation
from shortwave 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.
Lamps that will automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is broken
or punctured are commercially available.
LIGHT CENTER LENGTH (LCL)
The light center length of HID lamps is a measurement from the center of the
arc tube to the bottom of the lamp base.
LUMENS
Initial lumen ratings are based on photometry under controlled conditions of at
least 10 hours per start in the prescribed position at rated lamp wattage after
100 operating hours. HQI
®
, LUMALUX
®
Super and SOX lamp ratings are based
on measurements at constant input voltage. Lamp performance under typical
service conditions may vary from rated values. Operating universal METALARC
®
lamps in off-vertical positions will result in reduced lumen output.
Mean lumens are measured on ANSI reference circuits at rated wattage (HQI,
LUMALUX Super and SOX lamp ratings are based on input voltage) at 40% of
average rated life except for those lamps with a "+" next to their life rating;
these lamps are measured at 50% of average rated life. All measurements are
based on ballast operation on systems with current crest factors of 1.8 or less.
Higher current crest factors reduce values. In actual applications on CW or
CWA ballasts, mean lumens may be higher than published ratings.
Unless otherwise noted, all photometry measurements are made on an ANSI
reference ballast at rated lamp wattage.
MAXIMUM OVERALL LENGTH (MOL)
The maximum overall length of single-ended lamps is the maximum distance
from the top of the bulb to the bottom of the base. For double-ended lamps,
it is the maximum distance from end-to-end (excluding any leadwires).
ORDERING ABBREVIATION
Ordering abbreviation provides a shorthand description of the lamp, using a
unique code which can be used when ordering a lamp if you do not know the
product number. This information can be found on the lamp etch.
PACKAGE QUANTITY
This identifies the number of lamps contained in a standard shipping carton.
PRODUCT NUMBER
Product number is a five digit number used to identify a specific SYLVANIA
lamp and should be used when ordering.
WARM UP TIME
Most HID lamps do not have instant on capabilities. It may take several min-
utes for the arc tube to stabilize before optimal light output is achieved.
WATTS
Watts shown are nominal lamp watts only.
