3. 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.
