| It causes damage, but the only part that is impossible to design to survive is the ball enclosure itself. But compare to other costs in a proffessional lab operation I would think it is not that expensive to not allow to treat it as a consummable material for these measurements.
It is just a sphere made of some sheet metal, so not that expensive to make, coated with light diffusing material which are not expensive either.
The really most expensive part is to calibrate the thing. But as the properties are extremely sensitive to any dirt, contamination or surface damage, it needs to be calibrated very frequently anyway, so even that won't make the explosion damage itself that overly expensive either.
And it is not so often to need to measure a lamp where an explosion during the measurement is that much likely. Is so, it usually means either some special so expensive lamp, so some specialized test where the value of the measured data is very high, so there is enough budget to cover some extend of equipment damage.
