|
Three prototype metal halide lamps were submitted to UV Guide UK by Robert MacCargar of ReptileUV between January and March 2008. The lamp is a PAR38 reflector lamp with a moulded spreader lens on the surface and a slightly milky inner coating. (Fig. 1.) It has a brass collar and an E27 screw fitting. It is an externallyballasted 70watt metal halide; the lamp and a matching ballast box are supplied as a kit. The lamp can be used in any suitable lamp holder with a heatresistant ceramic fixture rated as suitable for a metal halide lamp; in practice this means a lamp holder with good terminal connections and fairly short lead, as these lamps require an extremely high voltage starting pulse from the ballast. The lamps were given the identification numbers BMH11, BMH12 and BMH13. The first lamp (ref. BMH11 – inscribed L3 on the collar) had already been in use for approximately 1,000 hours and was sent with the following information: Initial output 123μW/cm² at 12 inches. Output after 1,000 hours: 115 to 130 μW/cm² at 12 inches. The other two lamps were brand new and inscribed 231107F (BMH12) and 231107W (BMH13) on their collars.
