Why should you use BS EN 2240-006 - Incandescent lamps for aerospace ?
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 2240-006 covers the terms and definitions, required characteristics, dimension, mass, the form of a filament, designation, markings, and technical specifications of the incandescent lamps.   
BS EN 2240-006 helps engineers in designing lamps as per specifications that enhance the quality of their products. By adopting BS EN 2240-006 guidelines, manufacturers can demonstrate the reliability of their products and build trust in their use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
