BS EN 2240 is a European standard for incandescent lamps used in the aerospace industry.
BS EN 2240-071 specifies the required characteristics for the lamp, code 3011, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2240-071 is the 71st part of a multi-part series that focuses on the requirements for incandescent lamps for aerospace applications to manufacture efficient incandescent lamps. Incandescent lamps are used majorly in aircraft engine applications to provide vision in no light zones.
BS EN 2240-071 shall be used together with EN 2756.
BS EN 2240-071 on incandescent lamps, code 3011 is useful for:
A lamp is a device for producing illumination, originally a vessel containing a wick soaked in combustible material and subsequently such other light-producing instruments as gas and electric lamps.
BS EN 2240-071 provides you with the required characteristics of the lamp such as dimensions, mass, the form of a filament, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the incandescent lamps, code 3011.
This assists in manufacturing incandescent lamps that are efficient, durable and of high quality and manufacture a product that has global acceptance in the market.
BS EN 2240-071 also provides you guidance on light centre length as well as the colour temperature of lamps.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 2240-071, you can enhance the efficacy of incandescent lamps and can demonstrate their reliability to build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
