This approved method describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be observed in obtaining uniform and reproducible measurements of the electrical and photometric characteristics of
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps under standard conditions in 60Hz, alternating current circuits. The
HID lamps covered by this approved method include the lamp groups commonly known as mercury, metal
halide, and high pressure sodium used in general lighting applications. Low pressure sodium lamps
were covered in IES LM-59-00 IES Approved Method for the Electrical and Photometric Measurements of
Low Pressure Sodium Lamps (withdrawn from publication) are excluded from this procedure. Additional
information on these lamp types may be found in the IES Lighting Handbook and the other references
listed at the end of this document.
