What is the effect of voltage change on incandescent lamp life?
Incandescent lamp life is significantly affected by voltage, shock and vibration. Raising voltage by only 5% above a lamp’s design level can reduce life by 50%. As a result, life and/or light output curves only provide reasonably accurate performance levels between 95% and 105% of rated voltage, and then only when operated in a totally controlled environment.
