Abstract: The LED lamp has an enclosure defined by a housing and an optically transmissive exit surface. A base is connected to the enclosure. The housing is connected to the base at a proximal end and diverges as the housing extends away from the base to a distal end. The optically transmissive exit surface is connected to the distal end of the housing. A LED board is positioned transversely to a longitudinal axis of the enclosure adjacent the distal end to define a first interior space and a second interior space. A passage communicates the first interior space with the second interior space. A first aperture and a second aperture in the enclosure communicate the first interior space and the second interior space with the exterior of the lamp.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lamp device using a high-pressure vapor discharge lamp, particularly to an improvement for controlling the influence of the generation of heat, which accompanies an increase in lamp power and a reduction in the size of a reflector. A lamp device of the present invention comprises a discharge lamp having an arc tube enclosing luminescent materials and having a pair of opposing electrodes disposed therein and a pair of sealed portions extending from the arc tube; a reflector which reflects light radiated by the discharge lamp; a transparent member covering an open end of the reflector and accommodating the discharge lamp in a space between the transparent member and the reflector; and means for preventing an excessive temperature rise wherein the temperature rise of welded parts of wiring members electrically connected to the electrodes of the discharge lamp is restricted.

Abstract: A quick temperature-raising structure of cold cathode fluorescent lamp comprises a cold cathode fluorescent lamp, a soft electric heating component, an insulating tube and two insulating components. The soft electric heating component adheres onto the surface of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The insulating tube is slipped onto the surface of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The two insulating components are slipped onto the joint portions at two sides of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, the soft electric heating component and the insulating tube. Grooves are formed on the insulating components so that an external power source can provide the working power for the soft electric heating component and the cold cathode fluorescent lamp via conducting wires. The soft electric heating component can heat in advance to quickly raise the ambient temperature of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp when the cold cathode fluorescent lamp is driven.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high pressure sodium vapor lamp having improved color reproduction index, which has a discharge vessel (1) placed in an outer envelope (10) and at least a pair of electrodes (4,5) and a filling comprising of at least one additive material and a fill gas, as well as a pair of current conductors (6,7) for supplying current for the electrodes (4,5). The essence of the invention resides in that especially in the case of high pressure sodium vapor lamps of low output for the increasing of the color reproduction index filaments (2,3) are arranged at the ends and outside of the discharge vessel (1) and which during the entire operation of the discharge vessel (1) are connected in series therewith.

Abstract: Convection air-cooling of a compact electric discharge lamp unit that is adapted for use as a screw-in energy-conserving substitute for an incandescent-type lamp bulb is enhanced by partitioning the lamp housing into two separate compartments and providing vents and connecting air passageways that direct ambient air through the respective housing compartments along two different paths--thereby cooling the compartments independently of one another. A light source (such as a convoluted low-pressure discharge lamp) is located within one of the compartments and an electrical circuit for energizing the lamp is located in the other compartment. The "segregated air-flow" mode of cooling prevents heat that is generated by the lamp from being introduced into the compartment that contains the electrical circuit and thus prevents the circuit components from becoming overheated and possibly damaged.

Abstract: Device on a metallic gas discharge vessel as a current lead-in through its wall. The inner conductor which traverses the container wall is supported by an insulating sleeve. For protection against the action of glow discharges protective gaps are located in front of the insulating sleeve which are formed by an inner insulatedly supported metallic shielding sleeve. A second outer insulatedly arranged shielding sleeve encloses the inner shielding sleeve and forms protective gaps located in front of the inner shielding sleeve. The outer shielding sleeve shields the inner shielding sleeve against the electric field originating from the container wall.
