Abstract: An electric lamp (10) which emits a blue color when energized and which comprises a light transmissive envelope (12) enclosing an electric light source (16) within, said envelope (12) having a surface (11) on which is a coating comprising sulfate precipitated silica, aluminum silicate pigment, and cobalt blue aluminate spinel. The lamp is useful in appliances such as refrigerators.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric lamp with a base on one side, having a base (4) which has a holder (5) for a lamp vessel (2), the holder (5) being provided with a stop (5a) for one end of the lamp vessel (2), and the base (4) having spring elements (3) for fixing the lamp vessel (2) in the base (4). According to the invention, the lamp vessel (2) is equipped with an annular groove (2a), and the spring elements (3) are designed such that they act on the lamp vessel (2) in the area of the annular groove (2a), so that the end of the lamp vessel (2) sits with a press fit on the stop (5a).

Abstract: A vehicle lamp having a lamp capsule held in a holder with electric leads protruding into a base where a pressure arm holds the leads against connection lugs, in addition to the leads being welded to the connection lugs. The lugs then extend through the base to be exposed for connection in a connector receptacle end.

Abstract: A headlamp capsule with a formed lug seal is disclosed. The base of the capsule includes an intermediate wall separating a plug chamber and a lamp chamber. An electrical lug connection is formed in the intermediate wall to couple the two chambers. A walled structure is formed that includes positioning features to align and hold the lug. The accuracy of lug location may thereby be improved. The wall structure also provides a reservoir to hold a liquid sealant around the lug. The reservoir may be made to form with the lug, and thereby substantially reduce the amount of the sealant needed for a durable seal.

Abstract: A method of making a lighting lens having a multiplicity of lenticules is disclosed, and in particular a method using spherical and aspherical lenticules is disclosed. The lenticules are of two or more standard types, each of which produce a characteristic beam pattern. By selecting two standard lenticule types, and determining a weighted ratio, a lens for a desired lighting pattern may be made without having to specifically design the individual lenticules, or the particular lenticule arrangement. In particular, separate sample lens, each with a sample of a particular lenticule type, may be formed to produce characteristic sample beam patterns. By forming a first sample lens with gaps between the lenticules, and forming a second sample lens with lenticules and gaps complementarily positioned with respect to the first sample lens, the first and second patterns may be intermeshed in a finale design, having the combined beam patterns. A weighted averaging process may also may be followed.
