Description / Abstract:
This standard describes a system for classification of beam
patterns and beam angles of reflector lamps. Also a method of
describing light output is defined.
Reflector lamps are considered to be those lamps having a
reflective coating applied to the reflector part of the bulb or a
reflector permanently attached to the bulb with the reflector at
least partially controlling the light flux distribution. Partial
reflector lamps are also covered. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical
beams can be classified. Lamps with various kinds of light sources
are covered.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this standard is to provide a means to designate
nominal beam angles and define expected tolerances about the
nominal. This classification applies only to bare lamps and
excludes luminaires or other systems.
