Publication number: 20070069655Abstract: A metal halide discharge lamp with which essentially permits disusing mercury is provided. The metal halide discharge lamp comprises a refractory and transparent hermetic vessel, a pair of electrodes fixed to the hermetic vessel, and a discharge medium sealed in the hermetic vessel and containing a first halide, a second halide, and a rare gas. The first halide is a halide of metal which achieves a desired light emission. The second halide has a relatively high vapor pressure, being at least one halide of metal which is unlikely to emit a visible light compared with the metal of the first halide and acts as a buffer gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2006Publication date: March 29, 2007Applicant: Harison Toshiba Lighting CorporationInventors: Toshihiko Ishigami, Kiyoshi Saita, Mikio Matsuda, Toshio Hiruta

Patent number: 6215254Abstract: The present invention provides a high-voltage discharge lamp having an internal volume of 0.05 cc or less that is small yet maintains a desirable lifetime and a high luminous efficiency, a high-voltage discharge lamp device using the lamp, and a lighting apparatus using the lamp. The high-voltage discharge lamp comprises a ceramic discharge vessel that has a spherical, bulging section and a pair of small diameter cylindrical sections. The spherical, bulging section surrounds a discharge space. The small diameter cylindrical sections are connected to the ends of the spherical, bulging section. Electrode-integrated power-supplying conductors are used. Each conductor comprises a seal part and a halide-resistant part. The halide-resistant part having a proximal end connected to the distal end of the seal part. The distal end of the halide-resistant part projects into the spherical, bulging section of the translucent ceramic discharge vessel forming an electrode.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1999Date of Patent: April 10, 2001Assignee: Toshiba Lighting & Technology CorporationInventors: Hisahi Honda, Seiji Ashida, Kiyoshi Saita, Tatsuo Otabe, Masuo Shibuya, Noriji Watanabe
