Overview
EN 2240-002:2009 (CEN) enumerates and specifies the main characteristics of incandescent lamps for aerospace applications. Prepared by ASD‑STAN and approved by CEN, this part is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 2240-001 (Technical specification) and the relevant product standards. The standard provides a harmonized reference for electrical and photometrical data, filament forms and bulb/cap styles used across aerospace systems.
Key Topics
- Electrical and photometrical characteristics: The standard includes a tabular listing (Table 1) of EN 2240 product codes with their nominal voltage, nominal current and nominal luminous flux, plus cap type and bulb appearance. These values support consistent lamp selection and verification.
- Form and position of filaments: Symbols and abbreviations used to describe filament geometry are defined (for example, C = Coiled, CC = Coiled Coil, X = Light centre). Figures (1 to 7) illustrate the standard filament shapes and positions used in aerospace incandescent lamps.
- Normative references: EN 2240-001 is cited as indispensable for correct application; all relevant parts of EN 2240 are referenced where appropriate.
- Standardization and compliance: The document sets out the principal characteristics that product standards and manufacturers should reference to ensure compatibility, interchangeability, and predictable photometric performance.
Applications
EN 2240-002:2009 is practical for engineers, procurement specialists and test laboratories involved in aerospace lighting. Typical uses include:
- Selecting incandescent lamps that meet prescribed electrical and luminous requirements for cockpit, cabin, indicator and marker applications.
- Verifying supplier data and performing acceptance checks against standardized nominal voltage, current and luminous flux values.
- Aligning product standards and technical specifications to a common set of lamp characteristics to reduce design rework and improve parts interchangeability.
- Documenting lamp filament forms and cap/bulb appearances to support installation, maintenance and spare parts cataloging.
Related Standards
- EN 2240-001 - Aerospace series - Lamps, incandescent - Part 001: Technical specification (normative reference).
- Associated EN 2240 product standards - individual product documents that reference the characteristic codes and tables in EN 2240-002.
EN 2240-002:2009 adds practical value by centralizing key lamp data and symbol definitions, supporting consistent lamp selection, testing and integration across aerospace platforms.
