ANSI C78。375A-2014（R2020）描述了在交流（ac）电路上运行时，在标准条件下获得荧光灯电气特性的均匀和可再现测量时应遵循的程序和注意事项。这些方法适用于具有热阴极的灯具？开关启动（预热启动）、快速启动（持续加热的阴极）还是瞬时启动？以及冷阴极灯。

ANSI C78.375A-2014 (R2020) describes the procedures to be followed and the precautions to be observed in obtaining uniform and reproducible measurements of the electrical characteristics of fluorescent lamps under standard conditions when operated on alternating current (ac) circuits. These methods are applicable both to lamps having hot cathodes?switch-start (preheat-start), rapid-start (continuously heated cathodes), or instant-start?and to lamps of the cold-cathode variety.
