Incandescent, halogen and HMI light sources use this design. Medium bi-post (G22) is used with film & stage lighting fixtures between 250 and 1000 watts. Mini bi-post (G4-G6) Common types: G4 – 4 mm (0.15748 in) pin spacing GU4 & GZ4 – same as G4 and only denote what lamp mount clip is needed to hold the actual light bulb in place
230/240-volt incandescent light bulb with E27 screw baseEdison screw (ES) is a standard lightbulb socket for electric light bulbs. It was developed by Thomas Edison (1847–1931), patented in 1881, [1] and was licensed in 1909 under General Electric's Mazda trademark.
BS 546, Two-pole and earthing-pin plugs, socket-outlets and socket-outlet adaptors for AC (50–60 Hz) circuits up to 250 V is an older British Standard for three-pin AC power plugs and sockets. Originally published in April 1934, it was updated by a 1950 edition which is still current, [1] with eight amendments up to 1999. BS 546 is also the ...
The suffix after the G indicates the pin spread; the G dates to the use of Glass for the original bulbs. GU usually also indicates that the lamp provides a mechanism for physical support by the luminaire: in some cases, each pin has a short section of larger diameter at the end (sometimes described as a "peg" rather than a "pin" [2]); the socket allows the bulb to lock into place by twisting ...
The most commonly used A-series light bulb type is an A60 bulb [7] (or its inch-based equivalent, the A19 bulb [2] [4]), which is 60 mm (19 ⁄ 8 in or 2 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) wide at its widest point [3] and approximately 110 mm (4 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) in length. [8] Other sizes with a data sheet in IEC 60064 are A50, A55, A67, A68, A71, A75, and A80.
The yellow P+N+E, 4h (120°) plug is a single phase connector that is in widespread use on the British Isles for 110 V building site and fairground applications. A popular model of this socket type is marketed under the brand name MK Commando [12] which leads some users to refer to all IEC 60309 sockets by the generic trademark Commando sockets.
The GU24 fitting is intended to maintain the energy efficiency of the light by preventing an occupant from using an incandescent bulb instead of a CFL. Adapters to use incandescent bulbs in a GU24 fitting are illegal in the State of California as they would be a fire hazard in fixtures designed for the lower heat output of a CFL bulb.
The earliest tubes, like the Deforest Spherical Audion [3] from c. 1911, used the typical light bulb Edison socket for the heater, and flying leads for the other elements. Other tubes directly used flying leads for all of their contacts, like the Cunningham AudioTron from 1915, [ 4 ] or the Deforest Oscillion . [ 5 ]
