• Do not operate the luminaire with missing or damaged covers, shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens: an unshielded
discharge lamp emits UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage.
• Do not stare directly into the light output. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.
• A hot discharge lamp is under pressure and can explode without warning. Allow the luminaire to cool for at least 20
minutes and protect yourself with safety glasses and safety gloves before replacing the lamp or servicing the luminaire
internals.
• If the quartz envelope of a discharge lamp is broken, the lamp releases a small quantity of mercury and other toxic
gases. If a discharge lamp explodes in a confined area, evacuate the area and ventilate it thoroughly. Wear non-porous
safety gloves when handling a broken discharge lamp. Treat broken or used discharge lamps and used safety gloves as
hazardous waste and send to a specialist for disposal.
• Replace the lamp if it becomes visually deformed, damaged or in any way defective
• Replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its average life as specified in this manual or by the lamp manufacturer.
• Install only an approved lamp.
