1 03 01 Technical Terms
Where the terms "Voltage " and "Current " are used, they imply the (r.m.s.) values unless otherwise stated. air handling luminaire A luminaire through some part of which air is supplied to or extracted from the interior of the building. ballast - A unit inserted between the supply and one or more discharge lamps which by means of inductance, capacitance or resistance, single or in combination, limits the current of the lamp(s) to the required value. It also provides starting voltage and preheating current reduces stroboscopic effect and corrects the power factor. discharge lamp - A lamp in which the light is produced either directly or by the excitation of phosphors by an electric discharge through a gas, a metal vapour or a mixture of several gases and vapour. incandescent lamp A lamp in which light is produced by a filament heated to incandescence by the passage of an electric current. lighting-fixture - An Apparatus which is complete with all parts (Lamps, Reflectors, Side panels, Louvers, etc.) to give light. luminaire - Apparatus which distributes, filters or transforms the light transmitted from one or more lamps and which includes all the parts necessary for supporting, fixing and protecting the lamps, but not the lamps themselves, and where necessary circuit auxiliaries together with the means for connecting them to the supply. luminaire accessories - All components other than the lamp and the housing luminous efficacy The ratio of the luminous flux emitted by a lamp to the power consumed by it (unit: lumen per watt, Lm/W). metal halide lamp A discharge lamp in which the light is produced by the radiation from a mixture of a metallic vapour (usually mercury) and the products of the dissociation of halides. rated voltage - The supply voltage or voltages assigned to the luminaire by the manufacturer. recessed luminaire - A luminaire intended by manufacture to be fully or partly recessed into a mounting surface (for operation in enclosed cavities or mounted through a surface such as a suspended ceiling). rated maximum ambient temperature (ta) - The temperature assigned to a luminaire by the manufacturer to indicate the highest sustained temperature in which the luminaire may be operated under normal conditions. tungsten halogen lamp An incandescent lamp with a gas filling containing a proportion of halogens.
