When it may not be suitable

Key specifications

• Base type: E40
• Technology: Metal halide (CDM-TT)
• Application: Professional lighting

How to use

The lamp must be installed into a compatible E40 socket fixture that is equipped with the correct ballast or control gear designed for metal halide lamps. Ensure the power is switched off before installation to prevent electrical hazards. Once installed, the lamp requires a short period to reach its full luminous intensity. Avoid touching the glass bulb with bare hands during installation to prevent residue buildup, which can affect performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing fixture is compatible with the E40 base.
• Ensure the ballast or control gear matches the 150W power requirement.
• Confirm the intended environment is suitable for high-intensity discharge lighting.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, ensure the lamp is operated in a fixture that provides adequate ventilation and is protected from direct moisture unless the luminaire itself is rated for outdoor use.
