Scope:

The proposed term, general service (GS) integrated lamp, would include GS incandescent lamps (GSIL), general service directional lamps, CFLs, general service LED lamps, OLED lamps, and any other lamps used to satisfy lighting applications traditionally served by GS incandescent lamps.

Excluded technologies will refer to lamps operating on transformers/ ballasts and SSL replacing fluorescent/ HID lamps and any lighting application or bulb shape excluded from the GSIL or any incandescent reflector lamp definition

Project need:

The goal of this standard is to merge five existing standards: technology-specific standards (C861 - Compact Fluorescent Lamps, C862 - Incandescent Reflector lamps, and C871 - LED Replacement Lamps) and application-specific standards (C870 - General Service Lamps, and C875 - General Service Directional Lamps) into a single, technology-neutral standard for integrated replacement lamps
