What is BS EN 2240-018 - incandescent lamps for aerospace about?
Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. Delivery of high quality components contributes to the safety of those on board. The BS EN 2240 series focuses on requirements for incandescent lamps for aerospace applications.
Incandescent lamps are used majorly in aircraft engine applications. They are installed to provide vision in no light zones.
BS EN 2240-018 specifies the required characteristics for lamp, code 307, for aerospace applications. BS EN 2240-018 shall be used together with EN 2756.
Who is BS EN 2240-018 - incandescent lamps for aerospace for?
BS EN 2240-018 BS EN 2240-016 on ‘incandescent lamps for aerospace’ is useful for suppliers / vendors for aerospace as well as purchase divisions on the client side i.e., aerospace. In addition, designers and engineers that are involved in designing the vessel also use BS EN 2240-016. BS EN 2240-016 is useful for:
- The aerospace and defence industry
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- Vendors / Manufacturers and suppliers of incandescent lamps for aerospace
- Purchase divisions / component sourcing personnel
- Product design engineers
- Aeronautical engineers
Why should you use BS EN 2240-018 - incandescent lamps for aerospace?
When designing the interiors of vessels such as airplanes, spaceships, submarines etc., lighting decisions are based on function. Ambient lighting lights up the space in its entirety. Task lighting provides focussed lighting for performing tasks. Accent lighting highlights a specific or area to draw attention to a feature.
BS EN 2240-016 provides you with dimensions, masses, designation and markings of incandescent lamps for aerospace so that the bulbs are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 2240-016 contribute towards including high quality components for aerospace that are responsible for smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
