MIL-PRF-32215A

Abstract

This specification establishes, unless otherwise specified, the minimum requirements for engineering acceptance for the operation, performance, and reliability of Exterior Lighting Devices (LED), for military vehicles, with Light Emitting Diodes as the base of their technology for illumination and compliance with applicable SAE, United States FMVSS, Canadian CMVSS, STANAG, MIL Standards and Military Performance Specifications. The lamps will be designed to conform to the zone total photometric requirements of this specification and the associated standards referenced within this document where applicable. Please note the term "designed to conform" used throughout this document means, representative production level samples will be used for verification of compliance as specified below in this document.<b><u>Intended Use:</u></b> Light Emitting Diode (LED) Lamps covered by this performance specification are intended primarily for the purpose of replacing current incandescent blackout infra-red secure front driving lamps. LED technology that is properly designed, is not vulnerable to shock and vibration and therefore performs much better in severe end-use environments. By converting Incandescent Lamp products to LED, the lamps often last the life of the vehicle thus eliminating maintenance and field service issues.<br>
