Note: Peak currents should be kept below 1000 amps. Exceeding this limit could cause envelope fracture, excessive electrode wear and prema-
ture darkening.
Caution
Some glass flashlamps are under high internal pressure, and, if broken, could result in glass particles being
blown into the face and hand areas. To prevent injury, wear suitable protective devices such as safety glasses
and/or face mask and gloves.
Some types of pulsed lamps generate intense ultraviolet radiation which, if not properly shielded from personnel
in the area, will cause burns to any exposed skin and especially to the eyes. Do not expose any skin area or
the eyes to the direct or reflected radiation of an operating lamp. If you have to view an operating lamp, always
use protective covering for exposed skin area and ultraviolet-attenuating goggles for the eyes.
