This section of Part 2 of EN 60598 specifies requirements for lighting chains fitted with series or parallel connected incandescent lamps for use either indoors or outdoors on supply voltages not exceeding Z50 V. It is to be read in conjunction with those sections of Part 1 to which reference is made. Notes 1. - A Christmas tree chain is an example of a lighting chain fitted with series connected lamps. A chain for illuminating ski-tracks or promenades is an example of a lighting chain fitted with parallel connected lamps. 2. - For lighting chains fitted with lampholders of the push-in type, the appropriate requirements of this section apply. 3. - In some countries the term "strings" is used instead of "chains".
