Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safe and optimal operation, always confirm that your existing light fixture is rated for a 250W HPI-T lamp and is equipped with the correct ballast type. Before installation, ensure the power is completely disconnected at the breaker to avoid accidental shocks.
- Ensure the fixture is cool before handling old lamps.
- Verify the `E40` socket is clean and free of debris.
- Screw the lamp securely into the base, ensuring it is properly seated without overtightening.
- Restore power and allow the lamp several minutes to reach its full rated brightness.
Keep the glass surface clean and free of oils or dust to maintain maximum light output. If the lamp fails to strike, check the ballast connection before attempting a replacement.
