Directions

All Westinghouse lighting metal halide open rated lamps utilize a quartz shroud around the arc tube. These lamps are identified as P types and are designed to prevent damage to outer bulb and the environment in the event of an arc tube rupture. If additional safety is desirable, do not store combustible or flammable materials directly below the luminaire. Westinghouse P lamp styles can be operated continuously without 15 minute weekly shut off in either open or enclosed luminaires. Operate the lamp in the specified buming position with compatible electrical equipment. The ANSI code on the package must match the code on the ballast or luminaire. If in doubt, consult the luminaire manufacturer. Electrically insulate any metal bulb supports in the luminaire to avoid decomposition of glass. Protect lamp from direct contact with rain, sleet or snow to avoid breakage from thermal shock. Install lamp firmly but not forcibly into the socket to minimize loosening due to vibration. Do not use excessive force as the glass bulb may break. Replace bulb if scratched, cracked or damaged. Turn power off and let lamp cool before removal to avoid potential electrical shock and burns during lamp replacement. Relamp at or before the end of rated life. Beyond rated life, light output diminishes and energy consumption may increase. Westinghouse open fixture lamps are designed to operate in all sockets. Additional protection can be achieved by using special exclusionary sockets which prevent the use of non-protected lamps. Lamp Operating Characteristics: 1) This is a discharge lamp and requires several minutes to restart and come to full brightness after a power interruption. For total load, add auxiliary (ballast) watts to lamp watts. 2) Color variation from lamp to lamp is an inherent characteristic of metal halide lamps. It is further influenced by variation in the operating conditions and is not an indication of system or lamp failure. As lamps age, a gradual shift in color normally occurs.
