WARNING: This lamp can cause serious skin burns and eye inflammation from shortwave ultraviolet radiation if the outer envelope of the lamp is broken or punctured, and the arc tube continues to operate.
Do not use where people will remain for more than a few minutes unless adequate shielding or other safety precautions are used. Certain types of lamps that will automatically extinguish when the outer envelope is broken or punctured are commercially available.
Safety Recommendations

- Ensure fixtures are mounted at appropriate heights (minimum 30 ft/9m)
