  • Tungsten-halogen incandescent lamp with reduced risk of containment failure
    Patent number: 5670840
    Abstract: A tungsten-halogen lamp has a light transmissive, IR coated, filament chamber enclosing a filament, the filament chamber being enclosed within an outer envelope. Fuses are connected to opposite ends of the filament to limit the magnitude and duration of an electrical arc across a break in the filament which, in combination with a fill gas pressure of no greater than 2500 Torr reduces the likelihood of containment failure.
    Type: Grant

  • Low glare infrared light source
    Patent number: 5506471
    Abstract: Glare or stray light from a lamp is controlled by determining the location of a filament relative to a major axis of the ellipsoidal portion of a lamp envelope. Once the maximum deviation of the filament from the major axis has been determined, the lamp may be marked with indicia, or immediately secured to a base to assure the location of the filament in the final assembly of the headlamp. Any stray or glare light is then controlled or directed in a predetermined manner.
