Lamp Installation - Hydrofarm PHANTOM DE Instructions

NOTE: Please wear gloves in order to protect the DE lamp envelope from skin oils, which can
be damaging to the lamp.
Do not apply excessive force when installing lamp.
IMPORTANT: The lamp must be oriented so that the high voltage wire end/lead (the end near
the getter, which is the small square tab attached to the wire loop) is installed in the socket end
closest to the ballast as seen in DIAGRAM A.
NOTE: Lamp shown below is for general reference only; actual lamp included may vary.

(closest to ballast)
1. Before installing the lamp, make sure it is oriented so that the
burner filament (the long wire that runs along the full length of the
arc tube) is positioned upward, facing the top inside surface of the
reflector, as seen in DIAGRAM A.
2. Ensure that the wire ends/leads are not bent or frayed, as this will
prevent proper installation. The wire ends should be straight as
shown in PHOTO A.
3. Open both lamp holders by sliding them outwards and away from
the center of the fixture, as shown in PHOTO B.
4. Install the double-ended lamp within the lamp holders shown below
in PHOTOS B, C & D.

5. The wire ends/leads must be fully seated as shown (PHOTOS E & F) before sliding each
socket end closed.
