Overview
IEC 60357:2002/AMD3:2011 is an important amendment to the International Electrotechnical Commission’s standard specifically addressing performance specifications for tungsten halogen lamps (non-vehicle use). Published by IEC, a leading global organization for electrical and electronic standards, this amendment updates and clarifies crucial parameters related to tungsten halogen lamp design and performance. The document ensures consistent quality, safety, and interchangeability of halogen lamps used in general lighting, including stage and special-purpose lighting applications.
This standard amendment complements IEC 60357:2005 by incorporating new datasheets and revising performance requirements, particularly focusing on lamps with specific rated wattages and voltages. It guarantees adherence to prescribed temperature limits, dimensional requirements, and lamp cap designs, optimizing both safety and functionality.
Key Topics
Lamp Types and Ratings
The amendment covers various tungsten halogen lamps with rated powers ranging from 25W up to 1000W and voltages designated as B and C types. It includes lamps with a variety of cap bases like G9, E11, B15d, GZ10, and GX9.5, among others.Performance Specifications
Detailed performance criteria include:- Rated wattage and voltage compliance to ensure lamp stability and longevity.
- Maximum permissible temperatures:
- Pinch temperature limit up to 350 °C.
- Contact temperature generally capped at 250 °C, with exceptions (270 °C for higher wattages of 60W and 75W).
- Minimum bulb operating temperature requirements for reliable halogen cycle functioning.
- Operating position flexibility to facilitate various installation settings.
Dimensional and Base Specifications
Defines physical parameters such as bulb diameter (typically 14 mm for G9 lamps), overall lamp height, and light center length. The bases conform to IEC 60061-1 cataloging sheets, ensuring standardized lamp fitting and compatibility.Stage Lighting Lamps
Includes special provisions for high-wattage lamps (up to 1000W) used in stage and professional lighting, specifying cap bases GY9.5 and GX9.5 with defined dimensions and voltage ratings.
Applications
General Lighting
Tungsten halogen lamps covered by IEC 60357 Amendment 3 are widely used in architectural, residential, and commercial general lighting where high color rendering and precise light output are needed.Stage and Theater Lighting
The standard’s inclusion of lamps with high wattage and specific caps supports reliable performance in stage, studio, and professional lighting systems requiring intense and controlled light beams.Special-Purpose Lighting
Applications such as display lighting, retail spotlights, and decorative fixtures benefit from defined performance parameters to ensure durability and safety.Manufacturing and Quality Control
Lamp producers and quality inspectors use this amendment to validate product compliance, guaranteeing lamps meet international standards for electrical, thermal, and mechanical criteria.
Related Standards
IEC 60061-1
Defines lamp cap and holder dimensions which are referenced extensively in IEC 60357 for base specifications.IEC 60357:2005
The principal standard to which this amendment 3 adds new performance sheets and updated technical details.Other IEC Lamp Standards
IEC has a series of publications covering automotive lamps, LED lamps, and other lighting technologies, complementing the tungsten halogen lamp standards for comprehensive coverage in lighting technologies.
