           Compliance: The original compliance was as specified in the Requirement Document, with an effective date of 6 October 1990.

           This amendment is effective from 29 February 1996.

           Background:  Numerous incidents of smoke and fire have been reported on aircraft using SELA and ALC fluorescent lighting system components. These incidents have been attributed to high voltage arcing or overheating of the lamp connector or remote power unit.
           Action in accordance with this Directive is necessary in order to prevent smoke, fire and possible electric shock or electromagnetic interference to flight critical or essential systems.

           This amendment is issued following the issue of AD/ELECT/67, which addresses fluorescent lighting components manufactured by ALC. No changes other than minor editorial changes and the removal of references to ALC components in the Requirement Statement have been made in this amendment.
