  • Patent number: 4743802
    Abstract: A tungsten halogen incandescent filament lamp is provided having a fill of inert gas and halogen. In such lamps and especially in lamps provided for studio and theatre applications having operating temperatures between 2200K and 3450K there is a tendency to arc over between the filament limbs. According to the invention this problem can be solved by adding hydrogen gas in an amount between 0.05% and 1% by pressure at 20.degree. C. This hydrogen gas is in addition to any hydrogen which is present as part of the halogen or halogens. A preferred halogen is the solid hydrogen, bromophosphonitrile (PN Br.sub.2).sub.n which introduces phosphorus as a getter into the lamp.
