INCANDESCENT LIGHTING
The incandescent lamp consists of a wire filament on a suitable mount enclosed in a glass bulb containing a gas or a vacuum.
When the lamp is connected to an electrical circuit, the current passing through the wire must overcome the filaments
resistance, and the power consumed heats the filament to incandescence (causes it to glow).
Incandescent bulbs are still the standard choice when the quality of light really counts. The different shapes, coatings and features provide
a variety of options for many lighting applications. With warm color temperatures and superior color rendering, nothing sets the mood like
incandescent lighting.

BULB IDENTIFICATION
Light Center Length (L.C.L.) is the distance
from the center of the light source to the fol-
lowing point for the base used: Screw
bases...bottom base contact; Bayonet cande-
labra and medium bayonet...top of base pins;
Medium and Mogul Prefocus...top of base pin;
S.C. or D.C.Prefocus - Plane of locating boss-
es of prefocusing collar.
BASE IDENTIFICATION
Typical bases are shown. One lead-in wire is
soldered to the center contact and the other
soldered or welded to the upper rim of the
base shell. Base shells are typically made of
brass or aluminum. ANSI designations are in
parentheses.
FILAMENT IDENTIFICATION
A FILAMENT designation consists of a prefix
letter to indicate whether the wire is straight or
coiled, and a number to indicate the arrange-
ment of the filament on the supports. Prefix
letters include: C (coiled) --wire is wound into
a helical coil or it may be deeply fluted; CC
(coiled coil)--wire is wound into a helical coil
and this coiled wire again wound into a helical
coil.
