Overview
EN 2240-046:2010 is a CEN (ASD‑STAN) product standard in the Aerospace series that specifies the required characteristics for lamp, code 715 used in aerospace applications. Designed to be used together with EN 2756, this standard defines the physical, electrical and performance parameters that suppliers, manufacturers and procurement authorities must meet for this specific incandescent lamp type.
Key topics and technical requirements
The standard focuses on measurable, testable characteristics. Key technical data given in EN 2240-046:2010 includes:
- Electrical characteristics
- Nominal voltage: 5 V
- Nominal current: 0.115 A
- Nominal power: 0.575 W
- Photometric and optical
- Nominal luminous flux: 1.9 lm
- Colour temperature: 1 980 K
- Life and durability
- Life (static with d.c.): 4 000 h
- Life (dynamic with d.c.): 3 000 h
- Life (static with a.c.): 4 000 h
- Mechanical and dimensional
- Light Centre Length (LCL): 2 ± 0.5 mm
- Mass (for 1 000 lamps): 0.08 kg (as specified)
- Cap: without
- Filament form
- Filament form is referenced to EN 2240-002 (codes such as C - 2R, CC - 6 as indicated)
- Designation and marking
- Prescribed designation format (example: LAMP, INCANDESCENT / EN2240-715)
- Lamps and packaging shall be marked with the international code number per EN 2240-002 unless space is limited
The standard refers to EN 2240-001 for the technical specification and EN 2756 for test methods.
Applications
EN 2240-046:2010 is intended for aerospace incandescent lamp applications where a narrowly defined, repeatable lamp performance is required. Typical practical uses include:
- Standardizing replacement spares and OEM supply of incandescent lamps for aircraft systems
- Ensuring consistent illumination and photometric behaviour across instrument panels and lighting fixtures in aerospace environments
- Supporting purchasing specifications and conformity checks for avionics and aircraft maintenance
Who uses this standard
- Aerospace lamp manufacturers and component suppliers
- Design and systems engineers specifying cockpit and cabin illumination
- Procurement and quality assurance teams in OEMs and MRO organizations
- Test laboratories performing compliance testing by EN 2756 methods
- Certification and regulatory bodies reviewing component conformance
