lamp efficacy

lamp efficacy means the number of lumens per watt determined by

  • (a) dividing a lamp’s luminous flux by its power, measured under equilibrium conditions at the time of determining the luminous flux; and

  • (b) in the case of a general service incandescent reflector lamp, rounding the number calculated under paragraph (a) to the nearest half number. (efficacité lumineuse)

modified spectrum lamp

modified spectrum lamp means a lamp, other than a coloured lamp, that

  • (a) is marketed as a modified spectrum lamp; and

  • (b) when operated at its nominal voltage and nominal power, has a colour point that, on the 1931 chromaticity diagram described in CIE 15, lies below the black-body locus and is at least 4 MacAdam steps, as described in IES LM16, distant from the colour point of a clear lamp with the same filament and bulb shape and that operates at the same nominal voltage and nominal power. (lampe à spectre modifié)

plant lamp

plant lamp means a lamp that contains a filter or coating to suppress light with wavelengths of less than 0.58 µm and that is marketed as a plant lamp. (lampe pour horticulture)
