Philips Recalls Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide Lamps (CDM330)

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.

Industry Veteran Brian Shea Passes Away

When Brian Shea passed away the Canadian electrical industry lost a great man. Brian passed away on April 30, 2015. Mr. Shea was a great friend of my father’s and from time to time you could find them off on a tennis court hammering away. He was a mentor and friend of so many of us. I remember Brian Shea well, always gracious, always giving, and always keen to help and give advice, support and coach. He had an independent soul but was so persistent few obstacles this industry threw at him stood in his way for long.
