Noob alert!

Is the K2 designation on a flashlight bulb an indication of its
current consumption?

http://www.rayovac.com/flashlight/bulbs.htm says:

"Rayovac introduced the krypton flashlight lamp to
the mass market. We gave these new numbers, K-1, K-2,
K-3, K-4, and K-13. These lamps are now industry
standards, and are identified as KPR-102, KPR-113,
etc."

http://www.rayovac.com/technical/pdfs/pg_battery.pdf refers only to
K2 in the context of 1.2v to 0.9v. However I am sure my own K2
flashlight bulbs had been for voltages like 2.4v.

Can someone tell me what K2 (and K3, K4, etc) actually refers to?
