be selected by the contractor and shall be subject to all provisions of this specification.
3.3.1 Material deterioration prevention and control. The lamp assembly shall be
fabricated from compatible materials, inherently corrosion resistant or treated to provide
protection against the various forms of corrosion and deterioration that may be
encountered in any of the applicable operating and storage environments to which the
lamp assembly may be exposed.
3.3.1.1 Dissimilar metals. Dissimilar metals shall not be used in intimate contact with
each other unless protected against galvanic corrosion. Dissimilar metals and methods of
protection are defined and detailed in MIL-STD-889.
3.3.1.2 Identification of materials and finishes. The contractor shall identify the
specific material, material finish or treatment for use with component and subcomponent, and
shall make information available upon request to the contracting officer or designated
representative.
3.3.2 Recovered materials. For the purpose of this requirement, recovered materials are
those materials which have been collected from solid waste and reprocessed to become a source
of raw materials, as distinguished from virgin raw materials. The components, pieces and parts
incorporated in the lamp assembly may be newly fabricated from recovered materials to the
maximum extent practicable, provided the lamp assembly produced meets all other
requirements of this specification. Used, rebuilt or remanufactured components, pieces and
parts shall not be incorporated in the lamp assembly
3.4 Operation. The lamp assembly connected to a 120 volts alternating current (VAC)
power source, the lamp cords and extension light plugged into the outlet box, and the switches in
the "ON" position shall energize all the lamps. The lamp assembly shall show no signs of
electrical or mechanical malfunction or damage as a result of the stand being erected to its
maximum position and retracted to its carrying position.
3.5 Operational reliability. The lamp assembly shall withstand without
malfunction, damage or permanent deformation 100 operational cycles when tested as
specified in 4.4.2.3.
3.6 Electrical cable, plugs, and receptacles. The electrical cable shall conform to
MIL-DTL-3432 as specified for low temperature, heat resistant cable (IS-L for insulation and
JS-L for jacket). The connector plugs and connector receptacles shall conform to W-C-596. A
protective boot shall be provided with each twist-lock connector plug which shall provide a
raintight seal with the cable. All other connector plugs shall be molded to the cable.
3.7 Lamp-head assembly. The lamp-head assembly shall be as shown in figure 1 and
shall be provided with a positive means to lock the assembly to the mast. The lamp-head
housing cover shall be removable to provide access to the switch and wiring. All electrical
wiring shall be insulated from the metal components of the housing. The electrical cable shall be
