⚠️ Critical Installation Notes
- Voltage Warning: This lamp is rated for 480V. Do not use on standard residential 120V or 240V circuits as it will not reach operating temperature.
- Handling: Do not touch the quartz glass with bare hands. Skin oils can cause hot spots and lead to premature lamp failure (explosive shattering). Clean with alcohol if touched.
- Orientation: Operate in Horizontal position only to prevent filament sag and internal arcing.
