1 Aeronautical lamps
Aircraft lights
(1) This instrument does not cover LED lamps that:
(a) are designed to operate on an aircraft; and
(b) satisfy the requirements of:
(i) the airworthiness standards in subregulations 23.001(1), 25.001(1), 27.001(1) and 29.001(1) of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations; or
(ii) section 3, Chapter 7 (Lighting Systems) of the Defence Aviation Safety Design Requirements Manual.
Note 1: The provisions of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations mentioned in subparagraph (b)(i) refer to the European Aviation Safety Agency certification specifications and US Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness standards for aircraft.
Note 2: The GEMS Regulator may request evidence that such lamps comply with the approval requirements mentioned in paragraph (b) (among other things).
Aeronautical ground lights
(2) This instrument does not cover LED lamps that:
(a) are designed as aeronautical ground lights (within the meaning of Part 139 (Aerodromes) Manual of Standards); and
(b) meet the requirements that apply to such lights under either or both of the following:
(i) Part 139 (Aerodromes) Manual of Standards;
(ii) Defence Aviation Safety Authority Regulation (DASR) 139 – Aerodromes.
Note: The GEMS Regulator may request evidence that aeronautical ground lights comply with the requirements specified in paragraph (b) (among other things).
2 Other exclusions
(1) This instrument does not cover the following:
(a) LED lamps with:
(i) specific effective ultraviolet power > 2mW/klm; or
(ii) peak radiation between 180 and 280 nm;
(b) LED lamps for which the radiation power emitted within the range of 400 to 480 nm is 40% or more of the total radiation power emitted within the range of 250 to 800 nm;
(c) LED lamps:
(i) that have a photosynthetic photon efficacy of \> 2.5 μmol/J; or
(ii) for which the radiation power emitted within the range of 700 to 800 nm is 25% or more of the total radiation power emitted within the range of 250 to 800 nm;
(d) LED lamps with a fixed beam angle of less than 10°;
(e) colour-tuneable LED lamps, other than LED lamps that contain phosphor materials for light conversion, that:
(i) can be set to at least the colours listed in the table in subclause (2); and
(ii) have, for each of those colours, measured at the dominant wavelength, the minimum excitation purity set out in that table.
