Wiring Regulations Literary Question

Hello all, I wonder if someone can help me please?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_optimisation#Overvoltage

I'm trying to get a reference for a section in this wikipedia article to put in a report I'm writing but I can't find the original source. Under the "Common Power Quality Problems > Overvoltage" section there is a sentence that describes "A 230 V rated lamp used at 240 will achieve only 55% of its rated life". From the article I believe it is from the book "Commentary on IET Wiring Regulations 17th Edition" from 2016, ISBN 1849197652.


I have tried to find it in a library as I don't have £90 to drop on a new copy of it, just to see if it is this book I should be referencing in my report, but I've had no luck there. Is there perhaps anyone with this book that knows whether or not the quote does indeed come from it or not?


Any assistance with this query would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

  • This is rapidly becoming of only historical interest as fluorescent, and more recently LED lamps take over the world.


    Nice bright and hot tungsten lamps are valued by the occupants of terrariums, tropical fish tanks and tropical plants.


    What ever happened to heat lamps for aching muscles?
