Test on Incandescent Lamps

Abstract

The sample lamps were set up in two groups; five being tested for shock integrity and five for their life while under continuous vibration and illumination. Prior to the shock and vibration tests, five of the lamps, selected at random, were tested for their C.P. rating and current consumption while supplied with a potential of 6 volts. The object of this test was to determine the suitability of the lamps, as indicator lights for submarines in the Naval Service, as determined by life tests and their ability to withstand shock and vibration. In view of the favorable results obtained from these tests, it is recommended that the subject material be approved for use as indicator lamps on submarines in the Naval Service.
