DTIC AD0655904: SHELTER LIGHTING KIT

The Shelter Lighting Kit includes a manually-driven power unit and a fluorescent lighting system. Two power unit designs are presented for preproduction fabrication and evaluation. One power unit has a generator mounted on a bicycle-type frame and driven by a chain and sprocket transmission; while the other unit has a generator with an integral geared transmission mounted on a folding tripod frame. Both power units are designed for one-man operation with a power input of 0.1 horsepower at a nominal pedal speed of 55 rpm and a nominal generator output of 50 watts at 120 volts AC. The selection of either design for the production model will depend on their performance and a cost analysis. The fluorescent lighting system consists of two adjustable lamp fixtures and two 20-watt or 25-watt preheat fluorescent lamps operated in series (selected lamp wattage will depend on the overall system efficiency). The estimated production cost of the lighting kit is $90. An incandescent lighting system is proposed as an optional accessory for night lighting or background illumination in multi-room shelters. This lighting system consists of five 10- watt incandescent lamps with adapter sockets and f
