1)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. For HPS lamps with a rated average life of 18,000 hours, life is based on survival of 67% of the lamps.

2)Measured at 100 hours of life in vertical operating position.

3)Approximate mean lumen output at 40% of lamp rated average life. Measured in vertical operating position.

4)Approximate color temperature in Kelvin degrees.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for Basic High Pressure Sodium Lamps

Warnings, Cautions and Operating Instructions

WARNING: These lamps must be operated in fixtures designed for use with High Pressure Sodium lamps.The fixture wattage rating must match the wattage indicated on the outer glass bulb. 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 glass is struck. Operating the lamp improperly may result in PERSONAL INJURY,

PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE.

1.If the outer glass bulb is broken, shut off power immediately and remove the lamp after it has cooled.

2.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.

3.Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture, corrosive atmospheres and excessive heat.

4.Replace the lamp if the outer glass bulb has been scratched, cracked or damaged in any way.

5.If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the support electrically so as to avoid possible decomposi- tion of the bulb glass.

6.Do not use this lamp in a fixture which redirects a substantial portion of the energy toward the arc tube and its immediate vicinity, as this may lead to very early lamp failure.

7.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If arc tube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the contents or fragments.

8.The arc tube of this lamp contains sodium and mercury. Dispose of in accordance with federal, state and

local requirements.
