Abstract: The electric incandescent lamp has a sintered glass plate (1) through which current conductors (2) and a metal tube (3) extend. An incandescent body (4) is connected to said current conductors (2) aligned with respect to the sintered plate (1). A glass bulb (5) is present over the incandescent body (4), gastight secured to the sintered plate (1) by means of enamel (6). A water getter (20) and a heavy gas at an elevated pressure are present inside the glass bulb (5). The lamp may consume a relatively high power and may be relatively small, but nevertheless has a relatively long life.

Abstract: The invention relates to a signal lamp comprising a box-shaped housing having an open end, a number of LEDs being provided in the housing and the open end of the housing being closed by means of a spreading window. The invention is characterized in that the LEDs are clustered around the central axis of the housing and in that the lamp comprises a positive lens (preferably a fresnel lens). The signal lamp in accordance with the invention provides an optimum, homogeneous brightness distribution on the surface of the spreading window. Preferably, the lens has a focal distance f, the LEDs are arranged at a distance v from the lens, and 0.55<v/f<0.975. This measure contributes to the intended optimum homogeneous brightness distribution.

Abstract: The signaling system contains a low-pressure rare gas discharge lamp having a tubular lamp vessel provided with electrodes. The lamp is accommodated in a housing having a light-emission window and light-reflecting means. The housing has a light-reflecting inner surface reflect light and an elongate converging lens, closing the light-emission window. The housing may have a niche in which the lamp is partially recessed countersunk and in which the lamp may be secured by an adhesive.

Abstract: An electric reflector lamp according to the invention has a blown lamp envelope comprising a concave internally mirror-coated wall portion, a spherical internally mirror-coated wall portion opposite thereto, an annular translucent wall portion between the first two portions and a tubular wall portion at the apex of the concave wall portion. These wall portions constitute a single blow moulding. The axes of the mirror-coated wall portions coincide, just like their focus and center of curvature, around which a light source is arranged. The concave wall portion is parabolic or elliptic, the second focus lying outside the lamp envelope. The parts of the mirror-coated wall portions, which throw light rays after at most two reflections through the translucent wall portion to the exterior, surround the focus through a solid angle of more than 1.5 .pi.sr.
