scope:

This Standard describes testing procedures and states the performance requirements for general service incandescent reflector lamps.

This Standard includes performance requirements for

(a) wattage;

(b) lamp efficacy;

(c) centre beam intensity; and

(d) rated life.

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 110 and 130 V;

(c) an E26/24 single contact, or E26/50x39 skirted, medium screw base; and

(d) a bulb diameter > 70 mm.

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 < 66 watts;

(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 38-40) and a rated power of < 121 watts;

(f) bowl mirror lamps (eg, silverbowl); or

(g) lamps for heat sensitive applications (ie, dichroic cool beam).
