Philips Recalls Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide Lamps (CDM330)

Philips Recalls Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide Lamps

May 31, 2016

The lamps are designed as energy efficient replacements for traditional 400W quartz metal halide lamps installed in magnetic ballasts, and intended for use in high-ceiling industrial, retail and commercial applications. Philips has received two reports of lamps shattering, although no injuries have been reported.

The lamps were sold in both clear and coated versions. Each lamp includes an etching, located either at the base of the lamp or on the ovoid of the lamps, that displays the relevant date code, along with Philips’ name, wattage (330W) and the model (CDM330).

The lamps were sold through electrical supply distributors from May 2011 through June 2012.
