-''<u>Comment</u>: The standardisation of lighting fixtures with energy-saving fluorescent lamps and electronic DC ballasts is quite well described in IEC 60924 and 60925 “DC supplied electronic ballasts for tubular fluorescent lamps - General and safety requirements and - Performance requirements”. As these kinds of lights are utilised in public transport vehicles, aircraft and emergency lights, as well as in consumer applications like caravans and private cars, there is a much wider market for these products than just for PV solar systems. But there is still a need for standardisation of the special features; such lights must be compatible with PV applications, especially for the operation in Solar Home Systems in developing countries. Therefore, a new standard-proposal was drafted by the CENELEC CLC/BTTF 86-2 committee for "Photovoltaic Lighting Systems, Part 1, 2 and 3", which was also accepted by the IEC TC 82 and is currently circulating among the committee members for discussion and correction. A copy of the current draft version (as of 07/98) was kindly made available by TÜV-Rheinland, a member of the standards committee. The final version of this standard will probably be released by the end of 2000 and will not differ much from this draft. The draft will be the basis for the following specifications:''<br/><br/>
