Английская Википедия:A-series light bulb
The A-series light bulb is the "classic" glass light bulb shape that has been the most commonly used type for general lighting service (GLS) applications since the early 20th century. It has a pear-like shape and is typically fitted to either an Edison screw or a bayonet cap base. The number that follows the "A" designation indicates the nominal major diameter of the bulb, either in one-eighth inch units in North America[1][2][3] or in millimeters in the rest of the world.[4][5][6]
Physical outline
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 (Шаблон:Frac in or Шаблон:Frac in) wide at its widest point[3] and approximately Шаблон:Cvt in length.[8] Other sizes with a data sheet in IEC 60064 are A50, A55, A67, A68, A71, A75, and A80. Another common A-series light bulb type is the A15 bulb which is commonly used in the US for appliances and ceiling fans. The A15 bulb is Шаблон:Convert wide at its widest point and 3.39 inches tall.
Socket type
Most A19/A60 light bulbs come with an E26 type (i.e. 26 millimeters in diameter) in countries with a mains supply voltage of 100–120 volts, or an E27 type (i.e. 27 millimeters in diameter) in countries with 220–240 volts AC.Шаблон:Cn A-series light bulbs using the older B22 bayonet twist type base are less common; they can be found in the UK and many British Commonwealth countries.
Specifications
IEC/TR 60887:2010[4] defines the A bulb shape as: "A bulb shape having a spherical end section that is joined to the neck by a radius that (a) has a centre outside the bulb, (b) has a magnitude greater than the radius of the spherical section, (c) and is tangent to both the neck and the curve of the spherical end section.". The same standard also defines in addition to the A shape also bulged (B), conical (C), elliptical (E), flame (F), Globular (G), (K), mushroom (M), (P), reflector (R), straight-sided (S) and tubular (T) bulb shapes, as well as several modifier letters and special shapes. Very similar to the A shape are the P shape ("A bulb having a spherical end section, and a conical mid section, the sides of which are tangent to the curve of the spherical section"), and its PS variant ("Tubular neck section below the bulb and above the approximate reference line").
ANSI C79.1-2002, IS 14897:2000,[5] and JIS C 7710:1988[9] define the "A shape" as "a bulb shape having a spherical end section that is joined to the neck by a radius", where the radius is greater than that of the sphere, corresponds to an osculating circle outside the light bulb, and is tangent to both the neck and the sphere. The Energy Star certification only requires omnidirectional light bulbs to fit the overall dimensions of the corresponding ANSI bulb type.[10]Шаблон:Rp
Lamp types
Although most A-shape bulbs have historically used incandescent lighting technology, some other technologies – such as compact fluorescent (CFL) or LED lamps – have been used in A-shape bulbs more recently.
