Its innovative power has l
25、ed to a tremendous variety of different light sources. To enable customers and experts to find their way within the diversity of products, a general system for the coding of lamps has been developed. The code does not replace specific markings used by individual manufacturers on their lamps or in th
26、eir catalogues, but it is promoted for cross-referencing purposes and, in due course, to replace national and regional lamp coding systems which already exist. NOTE The code does not give all the technical characteristics necessary to specify a lamp fully. For this the relevant lamp standard and/or
27、the manufacturers literature have to be consulted. BS EN 61231:2010+A1:2013IEC 61231:2010+A1:2013 6 INTERNATIONAL LAMP CODING SYSTEM (ILCOS) 1 Scope and object This International Standard gives the rules for the international lamp coding system and covers all lamp categories, excluding vehicle lamps
28、. Coding for the main lamp types is specified and, for the others, will follow by amendments to this standard as appropriate. The object of the international lamp coding system is to improve communication about the different types of lamps; to help in discussions concerning interchangeability and co
29、mpatibility of products; to create a closer relationship between international standards and manufacturers literature (for example the code could be given in future in the relevant parts of a standard); to enable correct replacements of lamps; to be used as a complementary marking on the luminaire;
30、to replace national and regional coding systems. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including an

33、system has been developed on the basis of the following principles. It should be manufacturer-independent concerning its content and its wording. A relationship between the coding system and international standards should be established. IEC/TR 62732, Three-digit code for designation of colour rende
34、ring and correlated colour temperature BS EN 61231:2010+A1:2013IEC 61231:2010+A1:2013 7 It should be internationally acceptable. It is recognized that other systems with national and regional importance exist and that the change to an international code should be seen as a long-term process. The len
35、gth of the code should be as short as possible and as long as necessary. Therefore, it should be possible to use the code in different lengths depending on the different purposes. In view of the technical diversity of the different lamp categories, it would not be practical to define the code for al
36、l types in the same way; the code depends therefore in its composition on the technical needs of the different lamp categories. The code should not replace manufacturer-specific marking on the lamp or in the catalogues, but should be used for cross-references in lamp and luminaire literature. The al
37、location of codes is based on interchangeability and compatibility. An additional usage of the code on the lamp package should be envisaged for the future. 4 Basic structure The complete lamp code ILCOS consists of a letter section and a figure section. 4.1 Letter section The first letter of the let
38、ter section designates the lamp category as follows: H Tungsten halogen lamps (non-vehicle) F Fluorescent lamps M Metal halide lamps X Special lamps NOTE Vehicle lamps, including their coding, are covered by national and/or regional legislation. The next letters within the letter section give furthe
39、r details as outlined in the description of the different lamp categories. The letter section is separated from the rest by a hyphen. 4.2 Figure section The figure section consists of several blocks mainly containing figures. Each block, separated by hyphens, contains characteristic values of lamps
40、such as wattage; voltage; lamp cap; dimensional values. As a hyphen is used to separate the blocks, it cannot be applied within a block. As a consequence, the sign of equality = is used instead of the hyphen, for example within the cap designation. I Incandescent lamps tungsten filament lamps S High
41、-pressure sodium vapour lamps L Low-pressure sodium vapour lamps Q High-pressure mercury vapour lampsD LED modules and lamps The sequence and the specific content of the blocks is determined for each lamp category and described in 5.1 to 5.9.

42、th of the code 4.3.1 General The code can be used in different lengths depending on the purpose. In catalogues and leaflets, specialities, for example special applications, can be indicated with an asterisk (*) in the place where the difference occurs or at the end of the code and explained in a sep
43、arate remark, also indicated with an asterisk (*). The code can be shortened by deleting parts from the end, not by deleting intermediate parts. In general, if standard types are concerned, the dimension block can be omitted. Intermediate parts may be omitted, providing the separating signs such as
44、hyphens () and slashes (/) are given. NOTE These shortening rules do not apply to the extended short version ILCOS LE. 4.3.2 Short version: ILCOS L The short version consists of the letter section or a part of it and is called ILCOS L. It can be used for the general classification of lamps. A survey
45、 of ILCOS L is given in Annex A. 4.3.3 Extended short version: ILCOS LE The extended short version, where applicable, consists of the first part of the letter section (ILCOS L) immediately followed (without spaces) by the relevant dimensions. 4.3.4 Standard version: ILCOS D The standard version give
46、s the complete designation and consists of the letter section and (a part of) the figure section. The use of ILCOS D should enable the customer to find the correct lamp type, for example in the case of lamp replacement from a different manufacturer. It can be used for the purpose of marking luminair
47、es, when suitable also in an abbreviated form.

The main bulb shape types are -A pear-shaped -B bulged (candle) -C conical -G globular -M mushroom -P round bulb -S pigmy (straight-sided) -T tubular 5.1 Incandescent lamps tungsten filament lamps
