Installing or replacing the HID Lamp
Source Four HID fixtures ship with a lamp, which must be installed before you use the fixture.
Step 1: Disconnect the power before installing the lamp.
Step 2: Loosen the brass knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull out the lamp
burner assembly.
Step 3: Remove the HID lamp from its box. Handle the lamp only by the base. Do not touch
the glass envelope.
Step 4: Align the flat sides of the lamp base with the retention clips on either side of the
socket. The lamp is not polarized. It can be inserted either way in the socket.
Step 5: Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly.
Step 6: Reinstall the lamp burner assembly by aligning the lamp into the reflector and the
brass knurled bolt with the bolt hole and tightening the brass knurled bolt.
Ballast Information
• Acceptable voltage is 120V, 230V, or 277V (± 10%) 50/60 Hz only. Ensure that you have the
proper ballast for the input voltage at the installation.
• Room ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• Lamp ignition voltage is 4.5kV, non-hot restrike.
• Ballast case temperature should not exceed 167°F (75°C).
