Guide for specifying LED substitute light source categories as equivalents for corresponding filament light source categories prepared by the Task Force on Substitutes/Retrofits.

19. The expert from Germany also introduced equivalence criteria for LED substitute light source categories which substitute the corresponding filament light source categories (GRE-80-02), as well as the interlock solution, for the BA15-cap system developed by IEC (GRE-80-03). GRE decided to keep GRE-80-02 as a reference document and took note of GRE-80-03.

Guide prepared by the GRE Substitutes/Retrofits Task Force to criteria for specifying LED substitute light source categories as equivalents for corresponding fliament light source categories.

25. GRE addressed a proposal by the expert of TF SR that introduced a new LED substitute light source category H11/LED in R.E.5 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2019/21, GRE-82-03 and GRE-82-12). The experts from France and the United Kingdom expressed concerns about the thermal behaviour of this category. The expert from IEC provided additional explanations (GRE-82-45). Nevertheless, GRE requested TF SR to address the raised issues at its next session on 10 December 2019 and invited all concerned experts to take part in the meeting.

Proposal to clarify and update RE5, including

1. to introduce a new light emitting diode (LED) substitute light source category H11/LED/6 for road illumination applications
2. to measure luminous flux and references to the internal shield for applicable filament light source categories
3. to add specifications for H7, H8/H8B, H11/H11B, H16/H16B and H18 light source categories with respect to the “g” parameter
4. to add a definition for light centre and associated amendment to the specification of the LR4 light source category
5. the use restriction for light emitting diode (LED) light source categories LW2, LW3, and LW5
6. specifications for Lx3, LR4 and Lx5 light source categories with respect to the cap/holder interface
7. specifications for specifications for LR1, LW2, L3, LR4, L5, and L1/6 light source categories with respect to test voltage
8. correcting some details of light source category specifications in the Consolidated Resolution on the common specification of light source categories, and
9. administrative updates of IEC cap sheet references in light source category specifications.
