Before Ordering

Confirm your fixture is equipped with a compatible DC power supply and ballast rated for CSR metal halide lamps.
Verify the G22 base matches your luminaire's lamp holder.
Confirm burn position compatibility with your fixture orientation before installation.
Since ANSI code, CRI, and initial lumen output are not published for this SKU, confirm these specifications directly with GE or ADL Supply if required for your application.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

DC Power Required: This CSR metal halide lamp requires a DC power supply and compatible ballast. An incorrect power supply will damage the lamp.
High Pressure Warning: This lamp operates under high internal pressure. Always wear a face shield and protective gloves during handling and installation.
No Bare Hands: Never touch the bulb envelope with bare skin. Skin oils cause hot spots that lead to premature failure or lamp rupture. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
Do Not Exceed Rated Voltage: Operating above rated voltage significantly shortens lamp life. Verify supply voltage before installation.
Burn Position: Observe the rated burn position. Incorrect orientation can cause premature failure or lamp rupture.
Extreme Heat and UV Warning: This lamp operates at very high temperature and UV output. Use only in approved enclosed luminaires with appropriate UV filtering.
Allow Cool Down: Allow the lamp to cool completely before handling or relamping. Do not touch immediately after switch-off.
