"Filament lamps will perform to specification and give optimum life when:
a) They are powered at the rated voltage from a stabilised 50 Hz AC supply.
b) Ambient temperature is in the range 20°C to 25°C.
c) No mechanical vibration is present.
Deviations from these criteria have a significant effect on lamp life, particularly with low current filaments (<80mA).
Power from a DC supply at the rated voltage can reduce the listed life by up to 50%.
The effect of deviation from the rated operating voltage should be noted:
5% above will reduce lamp life by up to 50%.
5% below will significantly increase lamp life.
Power consumption may vary up to ±10% compared to the listed values at the rated supply voltage. Therefore, particular care should be taken when a number of lamps are connected in series. In such applications it is recommended that the rated voltage be reduced by 10% to prevent premature failure of individual lamps."

Filament lamps will perform to specification and give optimum life when: they are powered at the rated voltage from a stabilised 50Hz ac supply; the ambient temperature is in the range +20°C to +25°C; and where no mechanical vibration is present.

Deviations from these criteria can have a significant effect on lamp life, particularly with low current filaments (<80mA).

Operation from a DC supply at rated voltage can reduce specified life by up to 50%. The effect of variation from the rated operating voltage should be noted: 5% above will reduce lamp life by up to 50%. 5% below will significantly increase lamp life. Current consumption can vary by up to ±10% on stated values at rated supply voltage. Care should therefore be exercised when running a number of lamps in series. In such applications it is recommended that the rated voltage be reduced by 10% to prevent premature failure of individual lamps.

Conversion of light output units: Lumens = MSCP x 12.6, MSCP = Lumens / 12.6.
