Annex B – Measurement method of the colour of filament lamps
Replace the existing Clause B.1 by the following:
B.1 General
Measurements shall be made on finished lamps. Filament lamps with secondary (outer) bulb
acting as colour filter shall be handled as filament lamp with primary bulb.
Tests shall be made at an ambient temperature of 23 °C ± 5 °C.
Tests shall be made at test voltage as specified in the relevant filament lamp data sheet.
Filament lamps shall be measured preferably in the normal operating position. In case of dual
filament lamps, the high wattage (major or driving-beam) filament shall be operated only.
Before starting a test, the stabilisation of the temperature of the filament lamp shall be
obtained by operating at test voltage for 10 min.
Replace the existing Clause B.3 by the following (Figure B.1 and Figure B.2 remain
unchanged):
B.3 Measuring directions
B.3.1 General
Initially, the receiver shall be positioned perpendicular to the lamp axis and to the filament
axis (or plane in case of a curved filament). After measurement, the receiver shall be moved
around the filament lamp in bi-directional steps of about 30° until the area specified in B.3.2
or B.3.3 is covered. In each position, a measurement shall be made. However, no
measurement shall be made when:
– the centreline of the receiver coincides with the filament axis; or
– the line of sight between the receiver and the filament is blocked by opaque (non-transmit
tent) parts of the light source, such as lead wires or a second filament, if any.
B.3.2 Filament lamps used in headlamps
Measurements shall be made in directions around the filament lamp with the centreline of the
receiver aperture located within an angle ± 30° from the plane perpendicular to the lamp axis
and with the origin in the centre of the filament (see Figure B.1). In case of filament lamps
with two filaments, the centre of the driving-beam filament shall be taken.
B.3.3 Filament lamps used in light signalling devices
Measurements shall be made around the filament lamp (see Figur
