How to use

Install the lamp only into fixtures designed for ceramic metal-halide lamps with a compatible G8.5 base and appropriate ballast. Ensure power is switched off before replacing the lamp. After installation, allow the lamp to reach full operating conditions; ceramic metal-halide lamps typically require a short warm-up period to stabilise light output and colour. Do not operate the lamp in fixtures that do not provide the correct electrical control gear.

Recommendations

For longest life and consistent performance, use the lamp with the recommended ballast and follow fixture manufacturer instructions. Replace lamps in matched groups where uniform colour is important, and handle used lamps as regulated waste due to mercury content according to local disposal rules.
