22、66-14FOREWORDThis approved method is a revision of IES LM-66-2011, Approved Method for the Electrical and Photometric Measurements of Single-Ended Compact Fluorescent Lamps. Changes have been made to include self-ballasted or integrated electro-deless fluorescent lamps in the scope.INTRODUCTIONThe f
23、luorescent lamp is an electric discharge source in which light is produced predominantly by fluo-rescent powders activated by ultraviolet energy generated by mercury atoms brought to an excited state by collision with electrons in a low-pressure rare gas-mercury discharge or arc. There are two main
24、ways to generate the electrical discharge. The most common is to pass current through the gas via electrodes (cathodes) that are connected by wires through the glass envelope. The other way is to induce a current without the need of electrodes by use of high frequency magnetic induction. This type o
25、f discharge lamp is commonly called an electrode-less discharge lamp.Like most electric discharge lamps, both types of fluorescent lamps require operation in series with a current limiting device. This device, commonly called a ballast, which may be either electromagnetic or electronic, limits the d
26、ischarge current to the value for which the lamp type is designed. The ballast, in conjunction with the appropriate power supply, pro-vides the required starting capability and maintains the operating lamp voltage and current as required to meet the design specifications for the lamp.Fluorescent lam
27、ps with electrodes require long dis-charge lengths to be optimally efficient. Normally the discharge lamp is a cylindrical tube with phosphor coated on the inside surface with an electrode at each end. A long tubular lamp can be made compact by being folded one or more times or spiraled in a helix i
28、n such a way that both electrodes are config-ured to have one connection, hence single-based construction. Further, lamps of any of these bent-tube geometries can be covered with visible radia-tion transmitting envelopes having bulb shapes such as globe (G shaped), tubular (T bulbs), reflector (R an
29、d PAR shaped) and others.Induction-driven electrodeless fluorescent lamps, on the other hand, are necessarily more compact as the discharge current is required to form a closed loop inside the structure. Electrodeless fluorescent lamps are normally globular but can be made into A-line types, ring st
30、ructures and reflector lamps. Regardless of the electrodeless lamps outer shape, it has a more convoluted topological construction as it must incorporate an electromagnet outside the inert gas/mercury container (gas discharge volume) around which the current circulates. Two methods are in current us
31、e: a tubular coil inserted on the axis of a globular (A-line type, and reflector lamps), or a toroidal coil through which a circular glass tube is inserted. While electrodeless lamps are in fact compact in size, electrodeless fluorescent lamps are not included in the definition for Compact Fluoresce
32、nt Lamps in ANSI/IES RP-16-10 Nomenclature and Definitions for Illuminating Engineering. Thus the word compact has been removed from the title of this document to show this distinction.Finally, there are two categories of compact fluores-cent lamps (CFLs): integrated and non-integrated. Non-integrat
33、ed CFLs, normally only those with elec-trodes, are comprised of a discharge tube, lamp base and electrical connectors that interface to a lamp holder that connects the external ballast to the lamp. For non-integrated CFLs the ballast is essen-tially the same as for double-ended (linear) fluores-cent
34、 lamps and the starting circuits can be the same, i.e., preheat, instant start, rapid start or program start. Integrated CFLs combine the discharge tube or induction structure, ballast (normally electronic), lamp base, and appropriate housings into one struc-ture. Because the electro-magnet, which i
35、s part of the ballast, must also be in close proximity to the discharge chamber, most electrodeless lamps are integrated (self-ballasted) lamps. Typically, integrat-ed lamps can be directly connected to the branch circuit using standard lamp holders. The methods presented here are applicable to both
36、 integrated and non-integrated compact fluores-cent lamps and integrated electrodeless fluorescent lamps. Circline and U-bent lamps are covered in IES LM-9-09 Approved Method: Electrical and Photometric Measurement of Fluorescent Lamps,1and are excluded from the procedures described in this approved
37、 method. Additional information for reflector-type compact fluorescent lamps is provided in IES LM-20-13 Approved Method: Photometry of Reflector Type Lamps.2The electrical characteristics usually measured are line voltage, lamp current, lamp voltage, and lamp power. In the case of rapid start lamps
38、, the power measurements may include both the arc power and the electrode power. Arc power is the power con-sumed by the lamp discharge only, and is exclusive 2IES LM-66-14of any power that may be supplied to the lamp elec-trodes from a separate voltage source. Total lamp power is the sum of arc pow
39、er and electrode power. For the purpose of this approved method, the deter-mination of these data will be considered electrical measurements. The photometric information usually required is total luminous flux (lumens), luminous intensity (cande-las) in one or more directions, chromaticity values, a
40、nd color rendering information. For the purpose of this approved method, the determination of these data will be considered photometric measurements.For special purposes, it may be desirable to determine the characteristics of lamps when they are operated at conditions other than described in this a
41、pproved method. When this is done, such results are mean-ingful only for the particular conditions under which they were obtained. All such non-standard conditions shall be stated in the test report. Example of a spe-cial technique for photometric testing of single-based fluorescent lamps is include
42、d in Annex A.1.0 SCOPEThis approved method describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be observed in obtaining uniform and reproducible measurements of the electrical and photometric characteristics of single-based compact fluorescent, for both electrode and electrodeless lamps,
43、under standard conditions in alter-nating current, both line and high frequency, circuits. 2.0 NORMATIVE REFERENCESANSI/IES RP-16-2010 Nomenclature and Definitions for Illuminating Engineering, New York: Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, 2010.ANSI C78.901-2013 American National Stan
