Fluorescent Lamps
Halco brand fluorescent Lamps are exempt from the requirements of the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) because they are classified as “articles”. The
OSHA Standard defined and article as something that: (1) is formed to a specific shape and
design, 2) which has end use function(s) dependent in whole or in part upon its shape or design
during end use; and (3) which under normal conditions of use does not release more than very
small quantities or trace amounts of a hazardous chemical and does not pose a physical hazard
or health risk to employees.

SECTION 2: HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
Glass & Metal
The glass tube used in this fluorescent lamp is manufactured from soda-lime glass and is
essentially similar but not identical to that used throughout the glass industry for bottles and
other common consumer items. The end-caps on the lamp are generally aluminum while the
wires in the lamps (called filaments or cathodes) are made of tungsten.
Phosphor
The ProLume Eco-Shield product line uses two different phosphor systems. One phosphor
system (halophosphate) 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 second phosphor system (SP/SPX) 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.).
Mercury
While mercury is present in small amounts in all fluorescent lamps, the ProLume Eco-Shield
lamp uses the lowest amount of mercury of any Halco Lighting lamp of the same type. The
