SECTION 6: HEALTH HAZARD DATA
WARNING: THIS LAMP EMITS SHORTWAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION WHICH IS
HARMFUL TO SKIN AND EYES AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SKIN BURNS AND EYE
INFLAMMATION.
USE ONLY IN EQUIPMENT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTING
FROM ARC TUBE RUPTURE AND FROM ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THIS LAMP BE USED IN FIXTURES HAVING A SAFETY
INTERLOCK SWITCH. LEAD IODIDE IS NOT LISTED AS A CARCINOGEN BY IARC,
NTP, OR OSHA.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST AID: If exposure to ultraviolet radiation occurs, it is recommended that an
opthamologist be consulted.
SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: The lamp contains a small amount of mercury - together with a
small amount of lead iodide. Under the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP)
promulgated by the United States E.P.A. tests of used or spent high intensity discharge lamps
indicate that these lamps generally are considered to be hazardous when discarded. (Fed. Reg.
7/27/94.) EPA has issued the Universal waste Rule for lamps which fail the TCLP (Fed Reg
7/6/99). More than thirty States now manage lamps under this Rule. The UWR requires
recycling or hazardous waste disposal of those lamps which fail TCLP. There are some
exemptions which depend on your status, volume and or location. Check with your State
Authorities for information to ensure proper waste disposal practice.

SECTION 7: PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE (Cont'd)
Safe Handling: Read and Follow the installation/operating instructions listed below to help
reduce risk of personal injury and property damage and help prevent early lamp failure:
1) Before lamp installation/replacement, shut power off & allow lamp & fixture to cool to
avoid
electrical shock & potential burn hazards.
2) Protect lamp from abrasions & scratches. Do not install or use cracked or broken lamp. If
lamp cracks or breaks in use, disconnect power supply immediately, allow system to cool &
remove lamp.
3) Do not touch lamp with bare hands. If touched with hands, clean lamp with denatured
alcohol and wipe with a lint-free cloth before installing.
4) Replace lamp at or before the end of rated life. Allowing lamp to operate until it fails is not
recommended and may increase the risk of inner arc tube rupture.
5) Use within voltage limits recommended by ballast manufacturer. Do not operate lamp at
higher than specified power.
6) The permissible maximum operating temperatures (e.g., the pinch temperatures, the
tempera-
ture of the bulb wall) as indicated on the product leaflet may not be exceeded.
7) Lamp should be operated within 10 degrees of the horizontal position to insure maximum
operating efficiency.
