BS EN 2240 is a European standard on incandescent lamps used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2240-053 is the 53rd part of a multi-part series that focuses on requirements for incandescent lamps for aerospace applications to ensure efficient incandescent lamps. Incandescent lamps are used majorly in aircraft engine applications. They are installed to provide vision in no light zones.
BS EN 2240-053 specifies the required characteristics for a lamp, code 1308, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2240-053 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-053 on incandescent lamps in aerospace is useful for:
The incandescent light bulb or lamp is a source of electric light that works by incandescence, which is the emission of light caused by heating the filament. They are made in an extremely wide range of sizes, wattages, and voltages.
BS EN 2240-053 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, dimension, mass, the form of a filament, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the incandescent lamps. This assists in manufacturing incandescent lamps that are efficient, durable and of high quality.
BS EN 2240-053 assists you in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the efficacy of their products.
With compliance and obedience to BS EN 2240-053, you can demonstrate the reliability of the products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
