LAMP OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

This is a discharge lamp and requires some time to restart and come to full brightness after a power interruption.

RELAMP FIXTURES AT OR BEFORE THE END OF RATED LIFE. Beyond rated life, light output diminishes while energy consumption and risk of lamp rupture increases.

SPECIFIED OPERATING POSITIONS

VBU - Base up ± 15˚
VBD - Base down ± 15˚
HOR- Horizontal ± 15˚
HOR/PA - Horizontal ± 75˚
U - Universal

All lamps are rated for enclosed fixtures, except lamps with S-rated ANSI codes operated in vertical position only (Base Up or Base Down), ± 15 degrees, can be used in an open fixture.

Match ANSI code of lamp to code on ballast or luminaire.

Use in luminaire which comply with UL1598 or IEC 60598. When used, fixture lens/diffuser material must be able to contain fragments of hot quartz or glass (up to 1100˚C).

Electrically insulate any metal to bulb support in luminaire to avoid decomposition of glass.
