Key areas to meet ECE Regulation 37 and beyond include: Kelvin Temperature The colour temperature of bulbs must fall within specified tolerances for the bulb type. Dimensional Tolerances Dimensions of the bulb and filament are specified within exacting tolerances to ensure correct operation and effective beam pattern. Beam Pattern & Light Distribution Halogen headlight bulbs must be manufactured to ensure correct beam pattern output from vehicle headlamps. The beam pattern ensures oncoming drivers are not dazzled but pedestrians on paths are illuminated. ECE regulations specify light output measured at set points when projected onto a wall at 25m. MaximumWattage To ensure compatibility and avoid damage to vehicle wiring and electrics, bulbs must adhere to a maximum wattage. For example the most commonly used HGV headlight bulb, H7 bulb at 24 Volts must not exceed 75 Watts. Luminous Flux The brightness of bulbs (luminous flux) is also specified. A H7 at 24v must produce 1750 Lumens ± 10% Base and Cap Dimensional Requirements All Lucas bulbs also conform to IEC 60061 (Lamp caps and holders together with gauges for the control of interchangeability and safety). This contains the recommendations of the IEC in regard to lamp caps and holders in general use, together with relevant gauges, with the object of securing international interchangeability. Life Cycle Testing Whilst bulb life is not specified in R37 it is referred to as part of IEC60810. The true test of quality is reflected in the lifespan of the bulb. Lucas bulbs are life tested to ensure long-life and reliability. Production Line and Batch Testing Stringent quality inspection processes and test procedures are in place throughout the manufacturing and the distribution process to ensure Lucas trusted quality in every box. Long before the Ford Model T – even before the first Mercedes ‘horseless carriage’ – there was Lucas. Established in 1872, the same year the petrol engine was first patented, Lucas has illuminated the road ahead for over 150 years. From the earliest motor vehicles to today’s advanced commercial fleets, the brand’s influence on vehicle lighting is unrivalled. Today, Lucas remains one of the UK aftermarket’s leading suppliers of automotive and commercial vehicle bulbs. From vans and buses to HGVs and off-highway applications, professionals trust Lucas to keep their vehicles visible, safe, and on the move. That trust is earned through rigorous testing, consistent quality, and dependable performance — values that have defined Lucas since the very beginning. 150 E S T . 1 8 7 5 L U C A S A N N I V E R S A RY Our In-house UK Test Facility
