What is an Incandescent Lamp?

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 Mercury Vapor Lamp?

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?

A Fluorescent Lamp (LAMP,FLUORESCENT) is an item which produces light due to an ionized gas activating a fluorescent coating.

What is a Sodium Lamp?

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 Metal Halide Lamp?

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.
