3. Installation (Setup)
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and longevity of the bulb. Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before handling the bulb.
3.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Verify that the fixture is compatible with a G6.35 base and can handle a 300W, 120V halogen bulb.
- Ensure the fixture is clean and free from debris.
- Confirm the power supply to the fixture is turned OFF at the circuit breaker.
3.2 Installation Steps
- Handle with Care: Avoid touching the glass envelope of the bulb directly with bare hands. Oils from your skin can create hot spots, leading to premature bulb failure. Use a clean cloth or gloves when handling.
- Align Pins: Carefully align the two pins of the ZB-64514 bulb with the corresponding sockets in the fixture.
- Insert Gently: Gently push the bulb into the sockets until it is firmly seated. Do not force the bulb, as this can damage the pins or the fixture.
- Secure Fixture: If applicable, re-secure any covers or protective elements of the light fixture.
- Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely installed, restore power to the fixture at the circuit breaker.

4. Operation
The OSRAM ZB-64514 halogen bulb is designed for immediate full brightness upon power application.
4.1 General Operation
- Ensure the fixture is properly ventilated to prevent overheating, which can reduce bulb lifespan.
- Avoid frequent switching on and off, as this can stress the filament and shorten the bulb's life.
- Halogen bulbs operate at high temperatures. Do not touch the bulb during or immediately after operation.
4.2 Operating Position
This bulb is designed to operate in specific orientations to ensure optimal performance and safety. Refer to the diagram below for permitted operating positions.

The 's 90' symbol typically denotes that the bulb should be operated within a 90-degree angle from vertical, with the filament positioned as shown in the 'permitted' white area. Operation in the 'not permitted' orange area should be avoided.
5. Maintenance
Halogen bulbs generally require minimal maintenance. However, proper care can extend their lifespan and ensure consistent performance.
5.1 Cleaning
- Ensure the bulb is completely cool and the power is disconnected before cleaning.
- If the glass envelope becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol. Allow the bulb to dry completely before re-installing or restoring power.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
5.2 Replacement
When the bulb reaches the end of its life, follow the installation steps in Section 3.2 in reverse to remove the old bulb, and then install a new OSRAM ZB-64514 bulb.
5.3 Disposal
Dispose of used halogen bulbs according to local regulations. Halogen bulbs do not contain mercury, but proper disposal is still recommended.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your OSRAM ZB-64514 bulb, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Bulb Does Not Light:
- Check if the power supply to the fixture is on.
- Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the socket.
- Inspect the bulb for visible damage (e.g., broken filament). If damaged, replace the bulb.
- Verify the fixture itself is functioning correctly by testing with a known working bulb.
- Bulb Burns Out Prematurely:
- Ensure the bulb's wattage and voltage match the fixture's requirements.
- Check for excessive vibration or physical shock to the fixture.
- Verify proper ventilation around the bulb to prevent overheating.
- Avoid touching the glass envelope with bare hands during installation.
- Ensure the bulb is operated within its permitted orientation (refer to Section 4.2).
7. Safety Guidelines
Adhering to these safety guidelines is essential to prevent injury and damage.
- High Temperature: Halogen bulbs become extremely hot during operation. Do not touch the bulb or surrounding fixture components until they have completely cooled down.
- Burn Hazard: Direct contact with a hot bulb can cause severe burns.
- Fire Hazard: Ensure the bulb is installed in a fixture designed for its wattage and type, and that there is adequate clearance from combustible materials.
- UV Radiation: While modern halogen bulbs often have UV filters, prolonged exposure to unfiltered halogen light can be harmful. Use only in fixtures designed to contain the bulb safely.
- Eye Protection: Avoid looking directly at the illuminated bulb, as its intense light can cause eye strain or damage.
- Electrical Shock: Always disconnect power before installing, removing, or cleaning the bulb.
- Fragile: The glass envelope is fragile. Handle with care to prevent breakage.
