MasterColor®CDM Elite Ceramic Metal Halide 150 Watt 3000K Tubular Single-Ended T6 Lamps

Electrical Data (Subject to change without notice)
1)Measured at100 hrs. life. Approximate lumenvalues listed arefor ver tical oper ation of thelamp.
2)Approximate lumen output at 40%of lamp rated averagelife.
3)Rated average life is the life obtained, on the average,from lar ge 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%
ofthe lamps and allows for individual lamps or groups of lamps to vary 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.
INSTALLATIONINFORMATION
MasterColor®MetalHalide T-6 lamps mustbe used in combination with appropriate ballast and ignitor or suitable full electronic ballast. For satisfactory operation
ofthe lamp, the supply voltage should not fluctuate more than ±5% from the rated voltage of the ballast (±10% for electronic ballast).

radiation.Donot scratch the outer bulbor subject it to pressureas this
couldcause the outerbulb to crack or shatter.Apartial vacuum in the
outerbulb may causeglass to fly if the envelopeis struck.
WARNING:Thearc-tubeof metal halidelamps are designedto operate under
highpressureand at temperaturesup to 1000ºC and can unexpectedlyrupturedue
tointernal or external factors such as a ballast failure or misapplication. If the
arc-tuberuptures for anyreason,the outer bulb maybreak and piecesof extremely
hotglass might bedischarged into thesurrounding environment.Ifsuch a rupture
wereto happen,THERE IS A RISKOF PERSONAL INJURY,PROPERTY

Theselamps are designed to retain all the
glasspar ticles should an arctube rupture occur.The following operating
instructionsare recommended to minimize these occurrences.
RELAMPFIXTURESATOR BEFORETHE END OF RATEDLIFE.
Allowinglampsto operate untilthey fail is notadvised and mayincrease
thepossibilityof inner arc tuberupture.
Thislamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas containing less than
10nCi of Kr-85 and is distributed by Philips Lighting Company,a division

Lamp Operating Instructions:

1)RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORETHE END OF RATED LIFE.Allowing lamps
tooperate until they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner
arctube rupture.
2)Use only in fully enclosed fixtures capable of withstanding particles of glass
havingtemperatures up to 1000º C. Lens/diffuser material must be heat resistant.
Consultfixture manufacturer regarding the suitability of the fixture for this lamp.
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
tocool to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.

)
Useonly auxiliar y equipment meeting Philips and/orANSI standards. Use within
voltagelimits recommended by ballast manufacturer.
A.Operate lamp only within specified limits of operation.
B.For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturer’s electrical data.
C.Operate CDM-T6 (G12 base) lamps only on thermally protected ballasts.
D.Operate CDM-TC lamps (G8.5 base), CDM-T6 Elite lamps,and CDM-T6
39W/842lamps only on thermally protected electronic ballasts.
7)Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches,
cracksor damage .
8)If a lamp bulb suppor t is used,be sure to insulate the support electrically to
avoidpossible decomposition of the bulb glass.
9)Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture, corrosiveatmospheres
andexcessive heat.
10)Time should be allowed for lamps to stabilize in color when turned on for the
firsttime .This may require severalhours of operation, with more than one start.
Lampcolor is also subject to change under conditions of excess vibration or
shockand color appearance may vary 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 arctube is broken, avoid
skincontact with any of the contents or fragments.
