21、ical and Photometric Measurements of General Service Incandescent Filament Lamps. Changes have been made to update information, to give clearer guide-lines for requirements and to promote uniformity in measurement procedures. Measurement of incan-descent reflector lamps is not included in this appro

22、ved method.INTRODUCTIONIncandescent filament lamps produce radiant power as a result of electric current passing through a tung-sten filament, which is surrounded by an inert atmo-sphere or vacuum within a glass or quartz envelope. Some lamps contain halogens that are employed to maintain a clean bu

23、lb wall. Such lamps may also employ bulb coatings that redirect infrared energy back to the filament for improved efficacy or to filter radiation for color control.As long as the filament remains intact, current will flow, heating the filament to incandescence. Since the desired incandescence occurs

24、 at high filament temperatures, the surface of the tungsten filament is continually vaporized during lamp operation. As a result, the filament wire diameter is non-uniform-ly decreased along its length until at some point, the high current density causes excessive local heating and vaporization, whi

25、ch causes filament failures. The rate of evaporation is dependent on the local filament temperature, plus gas density and pressure.Incandescent filament lamps are typically affected by variables such as operating cycle, conditions imposed by the fixture, orientation and vibration. In general, the te

26、st conditions should not diverge widely from conditions of service. Practical consider-ations require that any test conditions and programs be designed to give comparable results when used by various laboratories. The recommendations of this IES Approved Method have been made with these objectives i

27、n mind.For special purposes, it may be desirable to deter-mine the characteristics of lamps when they are operated at other than the standard conditions described in this approved method. Where this is done, such results are meaningful only for the par-ticular conditions under which they were obtain

28、ed. All such non-standard operating conditions shall be stated in the test report.The photometric information usually required is total luminous flux (lumens), luminous intensity (cande-las) in one or more directions, and chromaticity. For the purposes of this approved method, the determi-nation of

29、these data will be considered photometric measurements.The electrical characteristics usually measured are lamp current, lamp voltage, and lamp power. Incandescent filament lamps are usually measured on DC and the power can be calculated from volt-age and current. For the purpose of this approved me

30、thod, the determination of these data will be con-sidered electrical measurements.1.0 SCOPEThis approved method describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be observed in performing uniform and reproducible measurements of the electrical and photometric characteristics of general

33、oved method are the volt, the ampere, and the watt. The ambient temperature measurement unit is degree Celsius/Fahrenheit. The units of photometric measurement are the lumen for luminous flux, and the candela for luminous intensity.1Color is specified in terms of CIE recommended systems.22IES LM-45-

34、154.0 AMBIENT AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS4.1 GeneralIt is good laboratory practice that the storage and testing of lamps should be undertaken in a relatively clean envi-ronment. For lamps, which operate at high bulb tem-perature, contaminants can be etched into glass bulb surfaces during operation. Ther

35、efore, lamps should be cleaned before measurement. Most lamps can be eas-ily cleaned with an alcohol-moist paper towel.4.2 TemperatureFor practical purposes, an ambient temperature of 25C 10C (77F 18F) is recommended. Although temperature is not critical for incandescent filament lamps, care should

36、be given to the require-ments of the measurement instrumentation and the temperature coefficient of the detector.4.3 Air MovementNo special precautions against normal room air movement are necessary.4.4 VibrationLamps should not be subjected to excessive vibra-tion or shock during measurement.5.0 EL

37、ECTRICAL CONDITIONS5.1 WaveshapeIf AC electrical power is used, the AC power source, while operating the test lamp, shall have a sinusoidal voltage waveshape such that the RMS summation of the harmonic components does not exceed 3 per-cent of the fundamental.5.2 Voltage or Current Regulation The DC

38、voltage or current shall be regulated to within 0.02 percent. The RMS voltage or current of the AC power source shall be regulated to within 0.1 percent.Measuring lamps on AC power will increase the measurement uncertainty compared to DC power.5.3 Circuits and Lamp ConnectionsThe measurement circuit

39、s employed for incandes-cent filament lamps are shown in Figure 1. Usually a variable power source capable of providing DC voltages or current or AC voltages as required by the lamp is used. In either case, the lamp input voltage or current shall meet the requirements of Section 5.2.Figure 1(a) show

40、s the method of connecting instru-ments into a DC circuit. The voltmeter V shall be connected at the base of the lamp socket. The switch is provided to remove the instrument from the circuit if it is necessary to determine a correction fac-tor to compensate for its presence in the circuit. The switc

41、h should have low resistance and be rated at several times the actual current in the test. Figure 1(b) shows the method of connecting an instrument or instruments into an AC circuit with capabilities of measuring wattage, current and volt-age. The voltmeter V and the potential element of the wattmet

42、er W shall be connected at the base of the lamp socket. Corrections to compensate for the presence of the measuring elements in the circuit can be calculated from the impedance specification data provided by the manufacturer of the instru-ments, or they can be determined by using switches to remove

43、instruments from the circuit.6.0 LAMP TEST PROCEDURES6.1 Lamp OrientationLamp seasoning, preburning and photometric mea-surements shall be done with the lamp in the same orientation. The operating position shall be as speci-fied by manufacturer. For special application or test purposes, orientation

44、other than that specified by the manufacturer or determined by customary usage may be used and shall be noted in the test report. If no orientation is specified, use base up.6.2 Lamp Stabilization6.2.1 Seasoning Prior to taking initial measure-ments, all new incandescent lamps selected for test shal

45、l be seasoned per IES LM-54-12, IES Guide to Lamp Seasoning.6.2.2 Pre-burning Before any measurements are taken, the seasoned lamps shall be operated long enough to reach stabilization and temperature equi-librium. A period of one-minute continuous operation, or up to three minutes for tungsten halo

46、gen types, is usually sufficient. However, it is always better to judge stability from periodic checks of light output, lamp voltage/current, or both, rather than elapsed time. When light output, and/or lamp voltage/current become stable, the lamp is stable.3IES LM-45-156.2.3 Determination of Stabil

47、ization time The following is a generally accepted four -step method for determining if an incandescent filament lamp is stable:Step 1. Take five measurements of the lamp light output at fifteen-second intervals (total time = 1 minute). This time period is in addition to the recom-mended preburning

48、time.Step 2. Determine the maximum measured value, the minimum measured value and the average value of the five consecutive measurements. Calculate the percent stability by dividing the dif-ference between the maximum and minimum val-ues by the average value of the five consecutive measurements.Step

49、 3. If the value calculated in Step 2 does not exceed 0.25 percent, the lamp is considered stable.Step 4. If the value calculated is Step 2 exceeds 0.25 percent the lamps are considered unstable and measurements in 15 second intervals have to be continued until the last five measurements meet the criteria in Step 3.This method is strongly recommended. Variation in the acceptance criterion and the number and dura-tion of the measurement interval provide different levels of lamp stability, either more or less severe. Should a different method or criteria be used it shall be so
