How to use

Install the lamp into compatible luminaires that accept a G12 base and are rated for ceramic metal halide lamps at 35 W.

Replace lamps in matched pairs where fixtures require uniform appearance and plan for lamp recycling or disposal according to local regulations for discharge lamps.

Recommendations

Use in enclosed or appropriately rated fixtures to maintain stable operating temperature and to protect the lamp. Select compatible electronic or magnetic control gear specified for ceramic metal halide lamps and verify fixture thermal limitations. For optimal color consistency in installations, group lamps from the same production batch and perform routine maintenance checks on ballasts and sockets.
