1)Measured at 100 hrs of life in vertical position.

2)Measured at rated lamp watts on a linear reactor or electronic ballast. LPW does not include ballast losses.

3)Rated average life is obtained at 50% survival rate. For horizontal operation: (a) Frame up: optimum 20k hrs lifetime. (b) +/- 90 degree w.r.t.frame up: estimated lifetime: 90% of rated life.

(c) +/- 135 degree w.r.t frame up: estimated lifetime: 80% of rated life. (d) >135 degrees w.r.t.frame up: estimated lifetime: 65% of rated life.

4)Measured with the lamp operating at rated watts.

WARNINGS,CAUTIONS,AND

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS

R“WARNING: These lamps can cause serious skin burn and eye inflammation from short wave ultra-

violet radiation if outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured. Do not use where people will remain for more than a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are used. Certain lamps that will automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is broken or punctured are commercially available.”This lamp complies with FDA radiation performance standard 21 CFR subchapter J. (USA: 21CFR 1040.30 Canada:SOR/DORS/80-381)

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 1000°C 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 surround- ing environment. If such a rupture were to happen,

THERE IS A RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE.

Certain lamps that will retain all the glass particles should inner arc-tube rupture occur are commercially available from Philips Lighting Company.

If a lamp is burned in a horizontal position, a rotation of the lamp over more than 90º around the lamp axis in the sockets can increase the risk that the arc tube will rupture. This holds during operation as well as after a cooling period after switching off the lamp. If one wishes to rotate the lamp over more than 90º around the lamp axis, one should do so in steps of less than 90º and let the lamp burn for at least 2 hours between each step.

RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED LIFE.Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.This lamp contains an arc tube with a filling gas containing less than 20 nCi of Kr-85 and is distributed by PhilipsLighting Company, a division of Philips Electronics North American Corporation.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, BURNS AND FIRE RESULTING FROM AN ARC-TUBE RUPTURE THE FOLLOWING LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED:

LAMP OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Relamp fixtures at or before the end of rated life. Allowing lamps to operate until they fail is not advised and may increase the possibility of inner arc tube rupture.

2.Use only in an enclosed fixture capable of withstanding particles of glass having temperatures up to 1000°C.

3.Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off and allow lamp and fixture to cool to avoid electrical shock and potential burn hazards.

4.Use only auxiliary equipment meeting Philips and/or ANSI standards. Use within voltage limits recom- mended by ballast manufacturer.

A.Operate lamp only within specified limits of operation.

B.For total supply load refer to ballast manufacturers electrical data.

C.All Pulse Start lamps require a socket rated to withstand a 4,000 volt pulse

5.Periodically inspect the outer envelope. Replace any lamps that show scratches, cracks or damage.

6.If a lamp bulb support is used, be sure to insulate the support electrically to avoid possible decomposition of the bulb glass.

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

8.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 excess vibration or shock, and color appearance may vary between individual lamps.

9.Lamps may require 10 minutes to re-light if there is a power interruption.

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

11.Use this lamp only in fixtures that contain a Pulse Start metal halide ballast and are specifically designed for use with Pulse Start metal halide lamps.

MasterColor CDM specifications

Philips MasterColor CDM (Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide) lamps are a part of a pioneering lighting technology designed to offer high-quality illumination in an energy-efficient manner. Known for their exceptional color rendering capabilities and long life, these lamps are widely used in retail, museums, art galleries, and various indoor applications where visual impact is critical.

One of the main features of the Philips MasterColor CDM is its superior color rendering index (CRI), which typically exceeds 90. This high CRI ensures that colors appear vibrant and true to life, making these lamps ideal for settings where accurate color representation is essential. Retail environments benefit significantly as products appear more appealing under this lighting, enhancing customer experience and improving sales.

In terms of performance, MasterColor CDM lamps provide a high luminous efficacy, typically around 100 lumens per watt or more, which translates to brighter illumination without excessive energy consumption. This efficiency not only reduces electricity costs but also contributes to lower carbon footprints, aligning with modern sustainability goals.

The technologies behind MasterColor CDM are grounded in advancements in metal halide lighting. The use of a ceramic arc tube allows for better thermal management and improved light output consistency compared to traditional metal halide lamps. This technology results in a more stable color temperature over the life of the lamp, ensuring that the light remains reliable and true throughout the lamp’s operational life.

Another notable characteristic of Philips MasterColor CDM lamps is their extended lifespan, which can reach up to 15,000 hours or more. This longevity reduces the frequency of replacements, lowering maintenance costs and enhancing convenience for users. Furthermore, the lamps are available in various wattages and color temperatures, allowing for flexibility to meet different lighting needs and design preferences.

Overall, Philips MasterColor CDM lamps combine advanced technology with outstanding performance characteristics, making them a popular choice in diverse lighting applications. Their ability to deliver vibrant, energy-efficient illumination while maintaining exceptional color fidelity makes them an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance their lighting solutions. As technology continues to evolve, Philips remains at the forefront of creating innovative solutions that meet the needs of modern users, ensuring that quality and efficiency go hand in hand.
