4. Why does my high intensity discharge lamp need to be protected from water splash by an enclosed fixture or overhang?

In general, the HID family of lamps, which typically includes the metal halide, high pressure sodium and blended mercury lamps, is preferred for outdoor applications over lamps made with thinner glass and glass that is not heat resistant. However, HID lamps are susceptible to breakage if cold water drips or splashes on hot glass. Therefore, our HID lamps contain caution statements on the package, warning about use outdoors to alert you to the possibility that if water splashes or drips on the glass when the glass is warm or hot, the glass could break. If you want to use this lamp in an outdoor application, the possibility exists that water could drip or splash on the glass. Thus, an outdoor lighting fixture that protects the glass from dripping or splashing water should be installed.
