1)Measured at 100 hrs. life. Approximate lumen values listed are forver tical operation of the lamp.
2)Approximate lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life.
3)Rated average life is obtained, on the average, from large representative groups of lamps in laboratory tests under controlled conditions at 10 or more operating hours
perstart. It is based on survival of at least 50% of the lamps and allows for individual lamps or groups of lamps to var y considerably from the average.
4)Measured at rated lamp watts on a linear reactor. LPW does not include ballast losses.
5)Measured with the lamp operating at rated watts.
6)Option-Pulse Width @ 90% Peak,1 micro second minimum with 2 pulses per half cycle.

Donot use where peoplewill remain formore than a few minutesunlessadequateshieldingor
othersafetyprecautionsare used. Certain lamps that will automatically extinguish when the
outerenvelope is broken or punctured are commercially available.”This lamp complies
withFDA radiation performance standard 21 CFR subchapter J. (USA:21CFR 1040.30
Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)
Ifthe outerbulb is brokenor punctured,turnoff at once andreplace thelamp to

WARNING:Thearc-tubeof metal halide lampsare designedto operate underhigh pressure
andat temperaturesup to 1000ºC and can unexpectedlyrupture due to internalor external
factorssuch as a ballastfailure or misapplicationIf thearc-tube ruptures forany reason,the

LAMPOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMPOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORETHE END OF RATED LIFE.Allowing lamps to
operateuntil they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner arc tube
rupture.
2. Use only in fully enclosed fixtures capableof withstanding particles of glass having tem-
peraturesup to 1000ºC. Lens/diffuser material mustbe heat resistant. Consult fixture
manufacturerregarding the suitability of the fixture for thislamp.
3. Do not operate a fixture with a missing or broken lens/diffuser.
4. Operate lamp only within specified limits of operating position.
5. Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and allow lamp and fixture to cool
toavoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.
6. Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips and/or ANSI standards. Use within voltage
limitsrecommended by ballast manufacturer.
A.Operatelamp only withinspecified limitsof operation.
B.For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturers electrical data.
C.Operate CDM-T6 (G12 base) lamps only on thermally
protectedballasts.
D.Operate CDM-TC lamps (G8.5 base),and CDM-T6 Elite lamps, and
CDM-T639W/842 only on thermally protected electronic ballasts.
7. Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches,cr acks
ordamage.
8.
Ifa lamp bulbsupport is used,be sure to insulatethe support electricallyto avoidpossible
decompositionofthe bulbglass.
9. Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive atmospheres and
excessiveheat.
10.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
coloris also subject to change under conditions of excess vibration or shock and color
appearancemay var y between individual lamps.
11.Lamps may require 4 to 8 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.
12.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps.If an arc tube is broken, avoid skin contact
withany of the contents or fragments.
