  • Illuminating system having sequential color filtering and a high-pressure discharge lamp
    Patent number: 8339061
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel operating method and corresponding ballast for illuminating systems having temporally sequential color filtering and a high-pressure discharge lamp operated by alternating current. In this case, at least three commutations of the lamp current are used within a color filtering sequence, in order to be able to operate the lamp advantageously without an excessive increase in the operating frequency of the color filter system.
    Type: Grant

  • Reflector high-pressure discharge lamp unit
    Patent number: 6566815
    Abstract: The reflector high-pressure discharge lamp unit has a reflector (2), a high-pressure discharge lamp (3) arranged on the axis of the reflector (2), a first base part (4) connected to the neck (16) of the reflector (2), and a second base part (5), arranged in front of the radiation/light exit opening of the reflector (2) and in the form of a mechanical auxiliary part. The end of the second supply lead (18), led to the second lamp shank (10), of the high-pressure discharge lamp (3) is electrically connected directly to the end of the second high-voltage cable (7), and this free connecting region is embedded in the second base part (5). The result of this is a high degree of shock resistance and strain relief with this lamp connection.
