The purpose of this standard is to recommend minimum performance requirements to assist the specification writer in establishing a failsafe airplane interior light assembly design. This standard relates to the design of fluorescent lamp ballasts, lampholders, fixtures, and installation of the same.

This document is intended to cover the design of plastic lighted panels, mounting plates, and their installation.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers the general requirements and test procedures for illuminating systems for integrally lighted aircraft instruments in order to provide (a) uniformity of illumination within each instrument, (b) legibility of instrument presentation under daylight or integral light, and (c) uniformity of illumination between instrument displays.

This specification covers the general requirements for integrally illuminated information panels.

This document does not dictate a specific design approach or technology, but rather it provides design consideration to assist the specification writer in establishing a fail/safe design.

This recommended practice covers the general requirements and test procedures recommended for use with white incandescent integrally lighted instruments. Its use should provide uniformity of illumination from instrument to instrument and legibility under daylight operation. An appendix is provided to familiarize the designer with some of the techniques used to obtain uniformity of color and illumination in various types of instruments.

This recommended practice covers the requirements for the types of glass to be utilized in the fabrication of cover glasses and lighting wedges used in aerospace instruments. It defines the maximum extent of physical defects and recommend standard methods of inspection and evaluation. Definitions of terminology used in this document are covered in Appendix A.

This ARP covers the general requirements and test procedures for illuminating systems for integrally lighted aircraft instruments in order to provide (a) uniformity of illumination within each instrument, (b) legibility of instrument presentation under daylight or integral light, and (c) uniformity of illumination between instrument displays.

The scope of this ARP is to provide general requirements for application of electroluminescence to Aerospace Vehicle Crew Station Area instruments and control panels. The design brightness and color recommendations stated in this ARP are intended to apply where a crew station has multiple usage of electroluminescence in both instruments and control panels and when different manufacturers may be involved. These recommendations may also be helpful for the design of individually used displays incorporating electroluminescence, however, this light source has extensive design versatility through variance of manufacturing and operating parameters and the numerous acceptable design recommendations will not be stated herein. Electroluminescence will herein be referred to as EL.

This recommended practice is intended to recommend the basic shapes and dimensions for knobs used in aircraft. Two basic types of knobs, the bar shape and the round shape, are described, as well as several widely used variations of these two basic shapes.

This document defines the method for voltage identification by use of color coded insulators at the base of the lamp. Table 1 shows lamp part numbers and corresponding insulator colors. Insulator colors are to be easily distinguishable as red, yellow, and green. Tables 2 and 3 show complete descriptions of the lamps involved for the T1-3/4 and T1 lamps respectively. New lamp part numbers may be added by a revision process as required.
