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.

local requirements.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for Basic High Pressure Sodium Lamps
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.
Above specifications subject to change without notice.
