Abstract:
A lamp comprising an envelope (1) of quartz glass surrounding the light source of the lamp is described, wherein an electric conductor (8), for example, an electrode rod, is at least partly embedded in the quartz glass material of the envelope (1). At the conductor (8) is provided with protrusions (15) forming a brush-like structure at this surface. The protrusions (15) preferably have an average length of between 10 μm and 35 μm.
Abstract:
A double-ended ceramic metal halide lamp includes a luminous tube; at least two illuminators serially connected with each other deposed inside the luminous tube; and at least one ring-shaped retainers arranged between two illuminators to support the illuminators located along a central line of the luminous tube. A manufacturing method for a ceramic metal halide lamp includes following steps: (1) Arrange at least two serially connected illuminators inside an interior of a luminous tube; (2) Seal two ends of the luminous tube by a press sealing technique; and (3) Extract out the gas inside the luminous tube to form an eyelet at a central portion of the luminous tube.
Abstract:
A flash discharge tube includes tungsten pins configuring a pair of discharge electrodes, and an envelope. The envelope includes a central region, serving as an alkali-free region, which is configured with an alkali-free glass except for quartz glass. The central region becomes in a high temperature state during a firing operation of the flash discharge tube. The central region is smaller than a maximum region enclosing a gas-tight space formed by hermetically sealing the pair of the discharge electrodes and is not smaller than a minimum region enclosing an arc-discharge space formed between the tungsten pins of the pair of the discharge electrodes. The alkali-free region contains either no alkali metal component or not larger than a predetermined amount of an alkali metal component. Then, a trigger electrode is disposed in the alkali-free region. This provides the flash discharge tube featuring a stable short-interval continuous-firing operation.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a gas discharge tube having a starting aid may include a discharge vessel with at least one open end, in which end a stopper with a continuous stopper bore is inserted; and an electrical leadthrough, which is inserted into the respective stopper bore and is fuse-sealed into the stopper bore. The starting aid extends as far as into the stopper bore.
Abstract:
A lamp includes a discharge vessel comprising a body portion defining a discharge space and leg members extending therefrom. Electrode assemblies include conductors carried by bores of the respective leg members. At least one of the conductors is bonded directly to the respective leg member within the bore, without the need for a sealing material, to form an airtight seal. Electrodes are electrically connected to the conductors and extend into the discharge vessel. An ionizable fill is sealed within the vessel.
Abstract:
A metal halide lamp includes a ceramic discharge vessel and two electrodes. The discharge vessel encloses a discharge volume containing an ionizable gas filling including at least a metal halide, two current lead-through conductors connected to the respective electrodes, and a seal of a sealing material through which at least one of the respective current lead-through conductors issues to the exterior of the discharge vessel. The sealing material of the seal includes a ceramic sealing material including cerium oxide, aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide as a mixture of oxides and/or one or more mixed oxides.
