SECTION 2: Hazards identification

Other than the normal concerns for electrical safety, there are no safety issues involved with Current's High Pressure Sodium lamps (marketed under the trade name Lucalox®) during normal use. Unlike broken low pressure sodium lamps, high pressure sodium lamps will not react with water. Although the lamp does contain a small amount of mercury, as an amalgam with the sodium, there is very little ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp.

Lamp Composition and Detailed Ingredient Information General Lamp Composition Lucalox lamps consist of an inner, high purity alumina ceramic tube enclosed in an outer envelope of heat-resistant glass that contains 5-10% lead. Depending on the lamp type, the envelope is either clear or coated with a diffusing material. The material used as a diffuser on the coated lamps is a specially prepared aluminum oxide. The ceramic tube contains a very small amount of sodium/mercury amalgam, ranging from approximately 8 mg mercury in a 50-watt lamp up to 25 mg in a 1000-watt lamp. The sodium/ mercury ratio varies from approximately 1/10 to 1/3. The fill gas used in the ceramic tube is high purity xenon gas, considered to be inert. The electrodes in the arc tube are manufactured from tungsten and are coated with an emission mix of barium calcium tungstate. The support structure of the lamp uses nickel-plated iron or stainless steel wires.
