General service lamp — a lamp that can be used to satisfy general lighting applications traditionally served by incandescent lamps and has a luminous flux between 250 and 2600 lm. Note: This definition does not apply to (a) appliance lamps; (b) coloured lamps; (c) infrared lamps; (d) lamps that have a G shape as specified in ANSI/NEMA C78.20 and ANSI/NEMA C79.1 and a diameter of 1 3 cm or more; (e) showcase lamps; (f) left-hand thread lamps; (g) plant lamps; (h) reflector lamps that have a shape specified in ANSI/NEMA C79.1; (i) sign service lamps; (j) silver bowl lamps; (k) traffic signal modules, pedestrian modules, and street lights; (l) submersible lamps; (m) lamps that have a screw base size of E5, E10, E11, E12, E17, E26/50×39, E26/53×39, E29/28, E29/53×39, E39, E39d, EP39, or EX39, as specified in ANSI/ANSLG C81.61; (n) lamps that have a B, BA, CA, F, G16-1/2, G25, G30, or M-14 shape or similar shape, as specified in ANSI/NEMA C78.20 and ANSI/NEMA C79.1, and a maximum wattage of 40 W; (o) rough service lamps; (p) vibration service lamps; (q) shatter-resistant lamps, including shatter-proof and shatter-protected lamps; and (r) 3-way lamps. Halogen lamp — an incandescent lamp containing one or more halogen class elements or halogen compounds. Note: In this Standard the term “halogen lamp” includes halogen infrared lamps. Harmonic — a component of order n of the Fourier series that describes the periodic current or voltage (where n is an integer greater than 1 ). Illuminance — the areal density of the luminous flux incident at a point on a surface, expressed in lx. Incandescent lamp — a complete lighting assembly, consisting of a bulb, a filament, lead wires, a base, and other components, that is intended to produce light by incandescence.
Seasoning — the process of operating a new lamp for a fixed period of time. Note: This is also sometimes referred to as “aging”. A lamp is typically seasoned before its initial photometric characteristics are measured. Seasoning is an accepted industry procedure for obtaining the initial rating of lighting sources. Showcase lamp — a lamp that is marketed as a showcase lamp, has a T shape as specified in ANSI/NEMA C78.20 and ANSI/NEMA C79.1 , and has a maximum wattage of 40 W or a length exceeding 25 cm. Sign service lamp — a vacuum-type or gas-filled lamp that is marketed as a sign service lamp and has a bulb temperature low enough to permit exposed outdoor use on high-speed flashing circuits. Silver bowl lamp — a lamp that is marketed as a silver bowl lamp and has a reflective coating applied directly to part of the bulb surface to reflect light towards the lamp base. Solid state lamp — a complete lighting assembly, intended for use as a general service lamp and to produce light by solid state electroluminescence, consisting of a semiconductor, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a base, and other components. Note: Other components can include, e.g., driver circuitry. Stabilization — operation of a test lamp for a sufficient period of time such that the parameters to be tested are constant. Note: Stabilization is not the same as seasoning. Standard spectrum lamp — a lamp that is unrestricted in its luminous flux but otherwise identical to a general service lamp with the same performance requirements. Starting time — the time needed, after switching on, for a lamp to start fully and remain lighted at the rated supply voltage and temperature. Test voltage — the voltage to which the rack on which lamps are operated for testing is initially set (and, if necessary, reset).CSA C870-12 pdf download.
