Content | g GE Consumer & Industrial 1975 Noble Road Cleveland, Ohio 44112-6300 August 2007 GE Protected Metal Halide Open-Rated Lamps GE protected Metal Halide lamps are available in CMH®, MXR and MPR designations. All elliptical shaped protected lamps are designed to meet the containment test specified in ANSI C78.389, HID Methods of Measuring Characteristics, Annexes A and B. Lamps that pass this containment test are suitable for use in open luminaires and are marked with the /O luminaire code as specified in ANSI C78.380, High-Intensity Discharge Lamps, Method of Designation, Annex A. GE protected Metal Halide lamps are intended primarily for use in open luminaires, but may also be operated in enclosed luminaires. In addition to the elliptical shape glass outer jacket, these lamps employ a quartz shroud that surrounds the arc tube. This protective shroud reduces the potential risk to persons and property in the unlikely event of an arc tube rupture. GE’s CMH®, MPR and MXR protected MH lamps comply with ANSI / ANSLG standard C78.43, for single-ended MH lamps and are fully compatible with the requirements for new and renovated Metal Halide installations that fall under the jurisdiction of Article 410.73 (F)(5) of the 2005 National Electric Code (NEC). GE also recommends operating MH lamps within the guidelines of NEMA LSD 25, Best Practices for Metal Halide Lighting Systems, and GE’s applicable warning and caution notices. GE Elliptical Protected Mogul Base Lamps GE’s mogul based protected CMH® and MPR lamps are designed with an EX39 exclusionary base. Luminaires that use exclusionary lampholders will only operate EX39 based Type-O lamps. Ceramic metal halide protected lamps contain the /O characteristic in both the lamp description and ANSI code. MPR identifies the lamp as protected, and may only use the /O characteristic in the ANSI code. GE’s EX39 based CMH® and MPR lamps are fully compatible the 2005 National Electric Code. GE Elliptical Protected Medium Base Lamps GE’s CMH® and MXR protected metal halide lamps employ E26 medium bases and are suitable for operation in open-rated or enclosed luminaires. These lamps are marked with the “/O” designation in both the lamp description and ANSI code. GE’s medium base protected lamps are designed with a narrow neck ED17 bulb that have a maximum neck diameter of 31.5mm (~1.24”) and can be distinguished from GE’s enclosed-rated medium base lamps which uses a BD17 bulb that have a minimum neck diameter of 34mm (~1.34”). GE’s CMH® and MXR protected medium base MH lamps are fully compatible with the 2005 NEC requirements referenced above. GE PAR and MR Reflector Lamps GE’s CMH PAR and MR reflector lamps are intended for use in open-rated luminaires. These lamps are marked with the /O designation in the ANSI code. Thick glass parabolic reflector lamps are exempt from the 2005 NEC regulations. |
