Footnotes:
1) Measured at 100 hours of life in horizontal position.
2) Approximate lumen values listed are for horizontal operation of lamp.
3) Approximate mean lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.
4) 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.
5) Measured at rated lamp watts on a linear reactor.LPW does not include ballast losses.
6) 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 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 is 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 sur
r
ounding en
vironment. If such a rupture were to
ha
ppen,
THERE IS
A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY DAMAGE,
B
URNS AND FIRE.
These lamps are designed to retain all the glass particles should an arc tube
rupture occur. The following operating instructions are recommended to
minimize these occurrences.

2
)
Before lamp installation/replacement,shut power off and allow lamp and fixture
to cool to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
3) 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.
4) Periodically inspect the outer envelope.Replace any lamps that show scratches,
cracks or damage.
5) If a lamp bulb support is used,be sure to insulate the support electrically
to avoid possible decomposition of the bulb glass.
