  • Patent number: 7876032
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light unit, comprising a concave reflector (7) with an outlet opening and an axis, whereby the reflector encloses a light source running in the direction of the axis. The light source is enclosed at a separation from an open-ended cylindrical protective tube (16), with a glare shield (19), provided at the open end of the protective tube. The glare shield (19) is a sheet, cupped over the burst-protection tube, whereby the glare shield comprises a semi-circular end piece with a given maximum diameter, on which a straight cylindrical section of greater diameter is mounted which itself is further provided with an offset screen (21).

  • Patent number: 7791259
    Abstract: A light bulb (1) with a base and inner vessel sealed in a vacuum-tight manner and surrounded by an enveloping part is provided with an adapter (13) at the end thereof made from ceramic polymer and fixed in a base insulator (12). The base insulator and the enveloping part are fastened to each other. The base insulator may be provided in pieces which fasten together and hold the adapter. The adapter allows cementless fastening of the inner bulb. The base insulator and the adapter part have matching indexing and mating indexing means for holding the base insulator and the adapter part in position relative to each other. Multiple mating indexing means on the base insulator allow the adapter to assume secure position at multiple heights relative to the base insulator.
