Additional Information for Electric Lamps Additional Information for Electric Lamps

NATO Supply Class 6240 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 62, which is dedicated to lighting fixtures and lamps. Specifically, NATO Supply Class 6240 focuses on electric lamps.

Electric lamps are devices that produce light by passing an electric current through a filament or gas. They are commonly used for illumination in various settings, including residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

NATO Supply Class 6240 includes a wide range of electric lamps, such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, LED lamps, and other types of electric lighting devices. These lamps may vary in terms of their size, shape, wattage, and specific applications.

The purpose of NATO Supply Class 6240 is to provide a standardized classification system for electric lamps within the NATO inventory. This classification helps facilitate procurement, logistics, and supply chain management processes for member nations.

When referring to electric lamps in NATO Supply Class 6240, it is important to consider the specific requirements and specifications outlined by NATO for these products. These requirements may include factors such as performance standards, compatibility with existing systems, and compliance with safety regulations.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 6240 plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and compatibility of electric lamps for NATO member nations, contributing to the efficient and effective operation of lighting systems in various military and civilian settings.

Cover,Lamp 509 Items
What is an Incandescent Lamp? 28077 Items
An Incandescent Lamp (LAMP,INCANDESCENT) is an item whose principal purpose is to produce light from a glowing filament(s). It includes metal backed and reflecting types, seal beam and flood types. It may include an integral filament shield to control and/or modify its illumination pattern.
What is a Flashtube Lamp? 436 Items
A Flashtube Lamp (LAMP,FLASHTUBE) is a lamp that produces repeated light flashes of exceedingly high intensity for short durations. May include incandescent lamp within itself.
What is a Mercury Vapor Lamp? 542 Items
A Mercury Vapor Lamp (LAMP,MERCURY VAPOR) is an item which produces light by an electric arc between two electrodes in an ionized mercury vapor atmosphere.
What is a Fluorescent Lamp? 4299 Items
A Fluorescent Lamp (LAMP,FLUORESCENT) is an item which produces light due to an ionized gas activating a fluorescent coating.
What is a Glow Lamp? 1839 Items
A Glow Lamp (LAMP,GLOW) is an item in which a gas is ionized to produce light energy of low persistence. It may include internal current limiting resistor.
What is a Lamp Case? 187 Items
A Lamp Case (CASE,LAMP) is a case specifically designed to hold one or more lamps.
What is a Cartridge Lamp? 1134 Items
A Cartridge Lamp (LAMP,CARTRIDGE) is an item consisting of an unbased lamp, either incandescent or glow, mounted in a sleeve. It has a projecting terminals and may also include a lens. For light emitting diodes which may or may not be mounted in a sleeve or a lamp base, see LIGHT EMITTING DIODE.
What is a Hollow Cathode Lamp? 54 Items
A Hollow Cathode Lamp (LAMP,HOLLOW CATHODE) is a gas discharge lamp which emits radiation in the form of a cathode glow from a hollow cathode closed at one end. It is usually used in atomic absorption spectrophotometers.
What is a Sodium Lamp? 290 Items
A Sodium Lamp (LAMP,SODIUM) is an item which produces light by an electric arc between two electrodes in an ionized sodium vapor atmosphere.
What is a Xenon Lamp? 238 Items
A Xenon Lamp (LAMP,XENON) is an item which produces light by an electric arc between two electrodes in an ionized xenon gas atmosphere. See also LAMP, GLOW. Excludes LAMP, FLASHTUBE.
What is a Metal Halide Lamp? 525 Items
A Metal Halide Lamp (LAMP,METAL HALIDE) is an item in which the major portion of the light is produced by radiation of metal halides and their products of dissociation - possibly in combination with metallic vapors such as mercury. Includes clear and phosphor coated lamps. Excludes LAMP, MERCURY VAPOR.
What is a Lamp Assembly? 767 Items
A Lamp Assembly is two or more lamps having a common mounting or mounted on each other. It may include resistors, contacts, printed circuits or other components that control the lamps only.
What is a Concentrated Arc Lamp? 51 Items
A Concentrated Arc Lamp (LAMP,CONCENTRATED ARC) is an item that produces a small, brilliant spot of light 0.005 to 0.110 inches (0.0002 to 0.0043 millimeters) in diameter, depending on wattage, by a low voltage arc between two non-vaporizing electrodes in an atmosphere of inert gas.
What is a Lamp Holder? 429 Items
A Lamp Holder (HOLDER,LAMP) is an item primarily designed to mechanically accomodate, position, and/or restrain the movement of one or more lamps in its/their normal mounting position. For items specifically designed to electrically accommodate a lamp, see LAMPHOLDER.
What is a Lamp Assortment? 180 Items
A Lamp Assortment is a collection of lamps with different characteristics that is usually contained in a CASE (2), LAMP. It is intended for individual replacement and/or general use.
What is an Electroluminescent Panel Lamp? 180 Items
An Electroluminescent Panel Lamp (LAMP,ELECTROLUMINESCENT PANEL) is an item that when connected to an alternating current/direct current source emanates light from crystalline powders or phosphors sandwiched between electrically conductive surfaces, one of which is translucent. The powders absorb the electrical energy and convert it instantly into light with minimal heat, without the use of ballasts, starters, or other auxillary electrical equipment.
What is a Light Emitting Diode Lamp? 389 Items
A Light Emitting Diode Lamp (LAMP,LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) is an electric light that uses one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs as the source of light.
