) Rated average life is the life obtained,on the average,from large representative groups of lamps in laboratory testsunder controlled conditions at 10 or more operating hours per start.
I
t is based on survival of atleast 50% of the lamps and allows for individual lamps or groups of lamps to vary considerably from the average.

WARNINGS,CAUTIONSAND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY
LIFEGUARD METAL HALIDE LAMPS (OPEN OR ENCLOSED FIXTURES)
T
WARNING:This lamp should self extinguish within 15 minutes after outer envelope
is broken or punctured.If such damage occurs,turn off and remove lamp to avoid
p
ossible injury from hazardous shortwave ultraviolet radiation.”This lamp complies with
F
DA radiation performance standard 21 CFR subchapter J.(USA:21CFR 1040.30
Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)This lamp should not be used on dimmers and is not
warranted if used on dimming systems.
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 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 surrounding environment.If such a rupture were to happen,THERE ISA RISK
OF PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE.
Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube
rupture occur are commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.
RELAMP FIXTURESAT OR BEFORETHE END OF RATED LIFE.
Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility
of inner arc tube rupture.
CAUTION:TOREDUCETHE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BURNSAND FIRE RESULTING FROMANARC-TUBE RUPTURETHE FOLLOWING
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Turn off lamps at least once a week for at least 15 minutes in systems which are operating on a
continuous basis (24 hours/day-7days/week).FAILURETOTURN OFF LAMPS FORTHE MINIMUM
RECOMMENDEDTIME MAY INCREASETHE POSSIBILITY OFAN INNER ARC-TUBE RUPTURE.
2.RELAMP FIXTURESAT OR BEFORETHE END OF RATED LIFE.Allowing lamps to operate until they
fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner arc-tube rupture.
3.If operated other than vertical ± 15º,use only in an enclosed fixture capable of
w
ithstanding particles of glass having temperatures up to 1000º C.
4
.Before lamp installation/replacement,shut power off and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid
electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
5.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.
6.Periodically inspect the outer envelope.Replace any lamps that show scratches,cracks or damage.
7.If a lamp bulb support is used,be sure to insulate the support electrically to avoid possible
decomposition of the bulb glass.
8.Protect lamp base,socket and wiring against moisture,corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.
9.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 excessvibration or shock andcolor appearance mayvary betweenindividual lamps.
10.Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.
11.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps.If an arc tube is broken,avoid skin contact with any of
the contents or fragments.
12.Do not use this lamp:
A.In a fixture that contains a Pulse Start metal halide ballast.
B.In a fixture that is specifically designed for use with Pulse Start metal halide lamps.
Operation of these lamps on Pulse Start Metal Halide systems may increase the chance
of an outer bulb rupture and pieces of extremely hot glass might be discharged into the
surrounding environment. If such a rupture were to happen,THERE ISA RISK OF
PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY DAMAGE,BURNSAND FIRE.
Description:
Safety Lifeguard lamps are designed to reduce the danger of possible injury from
shortwave ultraviolet radiation.The lamp will self-extinguish automatically within 15
minutes after the outer envelope is broken by any means,accidental or intentional.
These lamps are particularly suited for use in open luminaires where the outer
envelope is vulnerable to breakage and the risk of exposure to ultraviolet
radiation is present. However, the lamp’s ability to self-extinguish does not
protect against the danger of breakage itself.Accordingly, the users are advised
to follow the good lamping practices noted in the Operating Instructions for
Metal Halide Lamps.
In case of lamp failure, for safety and to preserve ballast life, turn off electric
power and replace lamp promptly.
For identification purposes safety lamp types have the letter“T” included in the
stamp style and on the wrapper.Non-safety lamp types use the letter“R”.
