  • Patent number: 9263246
    Abstract: A lamp includes a bulb, a filament, a gas, and a reflective film. The filament is disposed in the interior of the bulb along the tube axis. The gas is filled in the interior of the bulb. The reflective film is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the bulb and reflects a light from the filament toward the interior of the bulb. Further, the reflective film may be formed by depositing a reflective film material containing TiO2, SiO2, and BaSO4 on the outer circumferential surface of the bulb.
