R“WARNING:These lamps can cause serious
skinburn and eye inflammation from shor t wave
ultravioletradiation if outer envelope of the lamp is
brokenor punctured. Do not use where people will
remainfor more than a few minutes unless adequate
shieldingor other safety precautions are used. Certain
lampsthat will automatically extinguish when the outer
envelopeis broken or punctured are commercially
available.”Thislamp complies with FDA radiation
performancestandard 21 CFR subchapter J.
(USA:21CFR1040.30 Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)

WARNING:The arc-tube of metal halide lamps
aredesigned to operate under high pressure and at
temperaturesup to 1000º C and can unexpectedly
rupture due to internal or external factors such as a
ballastfailure or misapplication. If the arc-tube ruptures
forany reason, the outer bulb may break and pieces of
extremelyhot glass might be discharged into the
surroundingenvironment. If such a rupture were
tohappen, THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY,PROPERTYDAMAGE,BURNS
ANDFIRE.
Theselamps are designed to retain all the
glassparticles should an arc tube rupture
occur.Thefollowing operating instructions are
recommendedto minimize these occurrences.
RELAMPFIXTURESAT OR BEFORETHE END
OFRATED LIFE.Allowinglamps to operate
untilthey fail is notadvised and may increase
thepossibility ofinner arc tube rupture.
Thislamp contains an arc tube with a filling

CAUTION:TO REDUCETHE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY,PROPERTYDAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE
RESULTINGFROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE
THEFOLLOWING LAMP OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONSMUST BE FOLLOWED:
LAMPOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORETHE END OF
RATEDLIFE. Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is
notadvised and may increase the possibility of inner arc
tuber upture.
2.Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and
allowlamp and fixture to cool to avoid electrical shock
andpotential burn hazards.
3.Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips
and/orANSI standards. Use within voltage limits
recommendedby ballast manufacturer.
A.Operate lamp only within specified limits of operation.
B.For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturers
electricaldata.
C.All Pulse Star t mogul based lamps require a socket
ratedto withstand a 4000 volt pulse .
4.Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any
lampsthat 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
thebulb glass.
6.Protect lamp base, socket and wiring against moisture,
corrosiveatmospheres and excessive heat.
7.Time should be allowed for lamps to stabilize in color
whenturned on for the fir st time. This may require
severalhour s of operation,with more than one star t.
Lampcolor is also subject to change under conditions
ofexcess vibration or shock, and color appearance may
vary between individual lamps.
8.Lamps may require 10 to 20 minutes to re-light if there
isa power interr uption.
9.Take care in handling and disposing of lamps. If an
arctube is broken, avoid skin contact with any of the
contentsor fragments.
10.Use this lamp only in fixtures that contain Pulse Start
metalhalide ballasts and are specifically
designedfor
usewith Pulse Star t metal halide lamps.
