Data on typical lamps of a variety of types are given in Fig. 6-30 and
in Tables 6-8, 6-9, and 6-10. So far as possible, data presented on types
produced by several manufacturers represent industry averages. Since
these data are likely to differ slightly from specific figures on one manu-
facturer's product, it is advisable to check the manufacturer's data sheets
for detailed information on current production.
