1. Scope 1.1
This Standard describes testing procedures and states the performance
requirements for general service incandescent reflector lamps. 1.2
This Standard includes performance requirements for(a)
(a) wattage;
(b) lamp efficacy;
(c) centre-beam intensity; and
(d) rated life. 1.3
This Standard applies to incandescent reflector lamps designed for general
lighting use that have
(a) a rated wattage from 40 W up to and including 205 W;
(b) a rated voltage or voltage range that is at least partially between 100 and
130 V ;
(c) an E26/24 single contact, or E26/50x39 skirted, medium screwbase; and
(d) a bulb diameter > than 70 mm. 1.4
This Standard does not apply to
(a) coloured lamps;
(b) lamps that
(i) are of rough (or vibration) service type and are specifically marked
and marketed as rough (or vibration) service lamps
(ii) have a lens containing at least 5% neodymium oxide;
(iii) have a coating or other containment system to retain glass fragments
if the lamp is shattered, and are specifically marked and marketed
as impact
resistant lamps; or
(iv) contain a filter that suppresses yellow and green portions of the
spectrum and are specifically marked and marketed for plant growth
use;
(c) infrared heat lamps;
(d) lamps used in mines or in airfield, aircraft, automotive, marine, aquarium
terrarium, or vivarium applications;
(e) a bulb shape designated as BR as described in ANSI Standard C79.1 with
(i) a diameter of 95.25 mm (BR 30) and a rated power of (ii) a diameter of 95.25 mm (BR 30) and a rated power of 85 watts; or
(iii) a diameter of 120.65-127 mm (BR 30-40) and a rated power of watts;
(f) bowl-mirror lamps (eg, silverbowl); or
(g) lamps for heat-sensitive application (ie, dichroic cool beam).
