SECTION 2: LAMP MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Glass & Metal
The glass tube used is soda-lime glass and similar to that used in the glass industry for common
consumer items. The end-caps are aluminum. The filaments, also called cathodes, are tungsten.
Other than the usual concerns of broken glass, these materials do not pose a hazard in the event
that the lamp breaks.
Phosphor
The products line use two different phosphor mixes, depending on color rending index (CRI). The
lower CRI mix (halo phosphate) uses calcium chloro-fluoro-phosphate, with small amounts (less
than 1-2% by weight the phosphor) of antimony and manganese, both of which are tightly bound
in the phosphor matrix. The higher CRI mix (tri-phosphor) uses a mixture of rare earth elements
such as lanthanum, and yttrium as either an oxide or as a phosphate, along with a
Barium/aluminum oxide. These phosphors produce better lamp efficiency and color rendition. The
phosphor components may vary slightly depending on the color of the lamp (cool white, warm
white, etc.).
