The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 60598-1:2014+A1:2017 CSV. This report details “Luminaires – Part 1: General requirements and tests,” and is now available on the IEC webstore.

Description: “IEC 60598-1:2014+A1:2017 specifies general requirements for luminaires, incorporating electric light sources for operation from supply voltages up to 1000 V. The requirements and related tests of this standard cover: classification, marking, mechanical construction, electrical construction and photobiological safety.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part Two

Maxwell’s Equations are eloquently simple yet excruciatingly complex. Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics.

This eighth edition cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision and includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) requirements to support the construction methods for new LED luminaires entering the market;
b) photobiological requirements extended;
c) more precise requirements for insulation between different types of electrical circuit;
d) other general updates and improvements.

The contents of the corrigenda of October 2015, of December 2015, of May 2017 and interpretation sheet 1 of May 2016 have been included in this copy.
