MIL-DTL-15098E
pinholes or rough spots shall be determined by actual measurement of these areas as compared to
the total area.
3.9 Starting voltage. When tested in accordance with 4.6.3, the starting voltage shall be
as specified (see 3.1).
3.10 Maintaining voltage. When tested in accordance with 4.6.4, the maintaining
voltage shall be as specified (see 3.1).
3.11 Extinguishing voltage. When tested in accordance with 4.6.5, the extinguishing
voltage shall be as specified (see 3.1).
3.12 Initial light output. When tested in accordance with 4.6.6, the initial light output
shall be not less than specified (see 3.1).
3.13 Leakage resistance. When tested in accordance with 4.6.7, the leakage resistance
shall be not less than 100 megohms, unless otherwise specified (see 3.1).
3.14 Vibration. When tested in accordance with 4.6.8, lamps shall remain electrically
and mechanically operative (see 3.1).
3.15 Shock. When tested in accordance with 4.6.9, lamps shall remain electrically and
mechanically operative (see 3.1).
3.16 Life. When tested in accordance with 4.6.10, the average useful lamp life shall be
as specified (see 3.1 and 6.4).
3.17 Electrode glow. When tested in accordance with 4.6.11, the indicator lamps with
W11 electrode shapes (see 3.1) shall produce corona coverage as specified. The absence of
corona between the electrodes is permissible.
3.18 Marking. Lamps shall be marked in accordance with the requirements of
MIL-STD-1285 with the industry type number (ANSI) and the manufacturer's source code
(CAGE). Where physical size precludes the printing of required data on the lamp itself, each
unit package, exterior container, and unitized load shall be marked with the required information
in addition to the corresponding military part number as identified in the cross-reference table
(see 6.8). In addition, lamps containing radioactive materials shall be marked as specified in
3.18.1.
3.18.1 Radioactive marking. Lamps with intentionally added radioactive isotopes with a
measured radioactivity level less than or equal to 0.002 microcuries per gram shall be considered
non-radioactive for purposes of marking. Lamps with intentionally added radioactive isotopes
with an emission level below 0.5 millirems per hour shall be marked in accordance with
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) marking requirements for category I radionuclides.
Where size precludes, radioactive marking information shall be placed on the unit package.
