Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your bulb. Follow these steps carefully:
- Verify Power Off: Before beginning, ensure the power supply to the fixture is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Inspect Fixture: Confirm that your lighting fixture is compatible with a 400-watt Metal Halide HID bulb and has a Mogul (E39 or EX39) base socket.
- Handle with Care: Hold the bulb by its base or ceramic part, avoiding direct contact with the glass envelope, as oils from your skin can reduce bulb life.
- Insert Bulb: Carefully screw the Mogul base of the S5887 bulb into the fixture's socket. Turn clockwise until it is snug, but do not overtighten.
- Secure Bulb: Ensure the bulb is firmly seated in the socket to ensure proper electrical contact.
- Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely installed, restore power to the fixture.

Operating Instructions
The Satco S5887 Metal Halide bulb requires a compatible ballast for operation. Once installed in a suitable fixture with a working ballast:
- Power On: Turn on the power switch connected to the fixture.
- Warm-up Time: Metal Halide bulbs require a warm-up period to reach full brightness and stable color. This typically takes several minutes.
- Restrike Time: If the bulb is turned off, it will require a cool-down period (typically 5-15 minutes) before it can be reignited. Attempting to restrike a hot bulb too soon may damage the bulb or ballast.
- Power Off: To turn off the bulb, simply switch off the power to the fixture.
Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required for the Satco S5887 bulb. However, periodic checks can ensure optimal performance and safety:
- Cleaning: Ensure power is off and the bulb is cool. Gently wipe the outer glass envelope with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the bulb for any signs of damage, such as cracks or discoloration. Replace immediately if damage is observed.
- Replacement: Replace the bulb when it reaches the end of its rated life, or if it flickers excessively, fails to ignite, or shows significant light output degradation. Always replace with a bulb of the same type and wattage.
Troubleshooting
If your Satco S5887 bulb is not functioning as expected, consider the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bulb does not light up. | No power to fixture, loose bulb, faulty ballast, incorrect bulb type, or bulb has reached end of life. | Check power supply. Ensure bulb is screwed in tightly. Test with a known good ballast. Verify bulb compatibility. Replace bulb if necessary. |
| Bulb flickers or cycles on/off. | Bulb nearing end of life, incorrect ballast, or unstable power supply. | Replace bulb. Ensure ballast matches bulb requirements. Check power source stability. |
| Bulb takes too long to warm up. | Normal for HID bulbs, or bulb is aging. | Allow sufficient warm-up time. If excessively long, consider replacing the bulb. |
| Reduced light output. | Bulb aging, dirty bulb, or incorrect ballast. | Clean the bulb. Replace if aging. Verify ballast compatibility. |
