Applications can be severe service (cold, vibration, accessibility), architectural (color, black light), industrial (appliances, germicidal, safety, low voltage, infrared/heat), transportation (aircraft, railroad, marine), and infrastructure (airport, emergency building lighting, traffic signal, sign). Lamp listings are grouped into market/application sections, each containing a “family” of lamps by application or commonalities (such as base, shape, spectral distribution, color temperature), to assist in selection or interchange. Ordering Lamps To order lamps use the GE Order Code, Description and Case Quantity columns. If a lamp is colored BLUE it is stocked in Europe, GREEN is Europe and North America, BLACK is North America only. Otherwise procurement must be through an international distributor or your GE sales representative. North America, European and International sales offices are in the appendix. Other GE Publications All the lamps in this Specialty Catalog come from other GE catalogs/websites. These catalogs and websites contain data for other lamps that may be of interest: In North America: • Lamp Products Catalog (PC 25265) • Miniature/Sealed Beam Catalog (PC 20699) • Stage and Studio SHOWBIZ (PC23766) • www.GELighting.com • or 1-800-GELAMPS In Europe: • GE Consumer and Industrial Lighting Lamp Catalogue-Spectrum • SHOWBIZ® (ENTCAT 02/2003) Lamp Index There is a sorted (numeric/alphabetic) index by description with ANSI/LIF code, if available, which provides page number.

The light units are specifically designed to avoid “phantom” effects in sunlight, which otherwise might occur due to internal reflection and tend to give the impression of a cleared signal.

Abstract Flashing xenon strobe lamps were installed on locomotives in revenue service as a means of alerting motorists to the hazards they are approaching at a rail -highway grade crossing. Effectiveness of these lights in attracting motoristst attention was evaluated. The reactions of both motorists and locomotive crews to the use of strobe lights were also evaluated. Field observations, interviews, andexperiments confirmed the attention -getting value of locomotive -mounted strobe lights used in revenue service to alert motorists and suggested operational procedures and device specifications that are the subject of a separate application guideline report. Experimentation and observation of the strobe, lights under railroad operating conditions verified that these lights do not interfere with perception of trackside signals or with normal motorist and crew operations. The work reported in this document supports a technical recommendation favoring use of strobe lights on more extensive - research tests in railroad operational service.
