ArcLamp Installation
ArcLamps install directly to a standard E26, E27, E12, E14, B15, or B22 base. Fixtures with
ArcLamps installed must only be powered by an ArcLamp driver.
CAUTION:
ArcLamp is not suitable for use in enclosed luminaires or in
spaces with restricted air flow. Should maximum temperature be exceeded,
ArcLamp will thermally throttle output to reduce temperature.
CAUTION:
ArcLamp must not be connected to line voltage!
Only install ArcLamp in fixtures powered by an ArcLamp Driver. Connecting
ArcLamp to drivers or voltages greater than 24 V will cause permanent
damage to ArcLamp.
ArcLamp must only be used in fixtures with compatible bases.
Note:
The fixture and its installation location must support the ArcLamp.
Note:
The number of designated emergency lamps and their height is the
responsibility of the specifier and installer in order to achieve the minimum FC levels of
NFPA101. Other installation scenarios should be evaluated by the AHJ to confirm
illuminance and performance requirements of ANSI/NFPA and the IBC.
The LED driver has been evaluated for use with the Recognized OOLV2/8 lamps,
models ARCL-E26, ARCL-E12, ARCLFE12, and ARCLFE26 under the following
conditions:
•
in open luminaires (no lens or diffuser)
•
with the lamps at a maximum height of 17 ft (5.2 m)
Note:
ArcLamp is supplied with a caution label that must be applied to the fixture
with the ArcLamp installed. The label states “This luminaire has been modified to
operate LED lamps. Do not attempt to install or operate incandescent lamps in this
luminaire.“
