ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
This is a specialty actinic lamp, not a 3000K warm-white general-lighting lamp. Its spectrum is designed to match the sensitivity of certain diazo copying materials, and it can be used in marine-aquarium systems that need blue actinic light, alone or combined with full-spectrum daylight lamps in a properly designed installation.
Philips lists a 13,000-hour life to 50% failures on electromagnetic control gear and a separate 3,000-hour useful-life value for the stated specialty application; follow the equipment's required actinic-output performance when deciding when to replace the lamp.
