  • Patent number: 7511410
    Abstract: The subject matter of the disclosure is a PAR lamp arrangement having an integral lamp, in particular an integral halogen lamp, which is inserted into a base and is surrounded at least in sections by a reflector, the base and the integral lamp being connected via contact springs, and the reflector being covered by a diffusing screen. According to the invention, the reflector is made from aluminum and is provided with a reflective surface or coating. Owing to the aluminum reflector used and the fact that the integral lamp is held via contact springs, improved holding of the integral lamp is made possible with reduced weight and production complexity.

  • Publication number: 20080137344
    Abstract: A lamp module for projectors, in particular for digital cinema and video projectors, has a reflector system which has at least two reflectors and in which a lamp is accommodated. The reflector system is electrically connected to the lamp and bears the lamp such that the reflector system and the lamp can be inserted into the projector as a preassembled unit and considerably simplifies assembly.

  • Patent number: 7279839
    Abstract: A short arc high-pressure discharge lamp (1) for dc operation, includes a discharge vessel (2) that has two necks (4) diametrically opposite each other, in which an anode (26) and a cathode (7) made of tungsten are melted in a gastight manner, and which has a filling made of at least one noble gas and possibly mercury. According to the invention, at least the material of the cathode tip (11) contains lanthanum oxide La2O3 and at least another oxide from the group consisting of hafnium oxide HfO2 and zirconium oxide ZrO2 in addition to the abovementioned tungsten.

  • Patent number: 6614186
    Abstract: A short-arc lamp (1) with a discharge vessel (2) which contains an anode (3) and cathode (4) which are opposite one another. The filling medium contains inert gases and/or metal vapors, and the anode comprises a body having a front section (11), a substantially cylindrical body (12) and a rear face (13). Provided in the region of the front half of the cylindrical body is a projection (20) whose radial length (X) projects at least 0.5 mm beyond the cylindrical body (12).

  • Patent number: 6573657
    Abstract: In a short-arc high-pressure discharge lamp (1) with a xenon fill for digital projection purposes, the separation L in mm of the two mutually facing end sections (6a, 8c) of the cathode (6) and the anode (8) when the lamp is hot is given by the relationship 0.8×P≦L≦1×P+1, where P is the lamp power in kW. Further, the diameter D of the circular-cylindrical middle section (8a) of the anode (8) in mm obeys the relationship D≧2.1×L+10.
