  • Patent number: 10037861
    Abstract: A lamp (10), which is particularly a motor vehicle headlight, comprises a burner (12) for emitting light, which is supported by a holder (16) for mechanically connecting the burner (12) with a socket (14). The holder (16) comprises a metal ring (26) surrounding the burner (12). The metal ring (26) is thermally connected to the burner (12) via a single connecting surface (40), which is in planar contact to the burner (12) over an angle of ?350° in circumferential direction. Due to the increased heat transfer to the environment the used materials are less subjected to heat, so that the overall lifetime and the shock resistance of the lamp (10) are increased at the same time.

  • Patent number: 9431231
    Abstract: The invention describes a lamp (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D) comprising a glass envelope (10) enclosing a light generating means (11), and an axially and/or circumferentially graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) applied to a surface of the glass envelope (10), wherein the graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) exhibits a smooth transition in a transition region (23A, 23C, 23D) from a first coated region (21 A, 21B, 21C, 21D) on the glass envelope (10) to a second coated region (22A, 22B, 22C, 22D) on the glass envelope (10). The invention further describes a lighting assembly (4) comprising a lamp according to any of claims 1 to 11 and a reflector (40) for collecting and shaping any light passing through the graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) of the lamp (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D).

  • Patent number: 7988347
    Abstract: A fastening system for fastening a lamp has at least one electrical source of radiant light, in place in a light system. Part of the lamp projects into an opening in the light system and is releasably connected thereto. At least three lugs take the form of electrical contacts and reference points in this case, and the areas of contact of the lug and lug-receptacle system are so arranged that, in the end position, their mating areas can be caused to mate in positive inter-engagement by an axially applied force.

  • Patent number: 7745982
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lamp socket 1 for lamps 25, in particular vehicle lamps, comprising a connection region 2 for arranging the lamps 25 on a headlamp, a light or the like, a hollow-cylindrical receiving section 3 for arranging a bulb 27 on the lamp socket 1, and a cylindrical metal sleeve 4 which is arranged in the receiving section 3. In order to provide a lamp socket 1 of simple and stable design which has high heat-resistance, it is provided that a flange 5 arranged on the metal sleeve 4 rests on protrusions 7 which project from an upper edge 6 of the receiving section 3.

  • Publication number: 20100133971
    Abstract: An illuminating device is disclosed which comprises a light source (5) for generating light and an after-glowing material (for example a luminescent pigment), especially for emitting light after the light source is switched off or has extinguished. The after-glowing material is applied onto a carrier (1), which has a predetermined thermal isolation from the light source (5). By this, the duration of the after-glowing can be extended.

  • Patent number: 7559685
    Abstract: A lamp includes a burner secured to a holding device made of metal. The lamp further includes a bottom section made of plastic. In order that the lamp is of a simple, mechanically stable design, and nonetheless is thermally stable, in accordance with a first aspect, an opening of the bottom section is provided with projections in such a way that a base sleeve made of metal, which is disposed in the opening, does not bear laterally against the bottom section over its entire surface. In accordance with a second aspect, the base sleeve includes a flange which screens a top side of the bottom section, at least partially, against the burner, wherein a space remains between the flange and the top side of the bottom section.
