The discharge vessel mount (5) has an essentially H-shaped cross section and includes a plate (4) with collars (9, 18) running on the edge of each side of the plate. Both the housing (13) of the cap (12) and the cover part, which is in the form of an enveloping bulb (2), a reflector or a closure cap, are mounted on this H-shaped discharge vessel mount (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a low-pressure discharge lamp, having a tubular discharge vessel made from glass, the free ends of which are closed off in a gas tight manner, two electrode systems (3) each having a filament (7), two supply conductors (5, 6) and a bead (8) of glass, the ends of the supply conductors (5, 6) being fused into the ends of the discharge vessel which have been closed off in a gas tight manner and, in order to be held in a region between the filament (7) and the discharge vessel fused seal (2), into the bead (8), and a device for switching off the lamp at the end of its service life, comprising a paste (9) which contains a metal hydride and is fitted to the bead (8). According to the invention, the bead (8) consists of a glass material which has a resistivity of greater 108 &OHgr;cm at 350° C.

Abstract: The compact low-pressure discharge lamp (1) has a wound tubular discharge vessel (2) with at least four straight tubes (6, 7) which are in a polygonal arrangement and, close to or at the ends of the straight tubes (6, 7), are connected by transverse connections (8, 10, 11) to form a single continuous discharge path which is closed off in a gastight manner. A coil spring (14) made from metal, which runs parallel to the tubes (6, 7) is arranged in the center of the cylindrical cavity (13) formed by the straight tubes (6, 7) of the discharge vessel (2). The coil spring (14) reduces the firing voltage required.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compact low-pressure discharge lamp (1) comprising a discharge vessel (3) with electrodes and power supply leads (7), a discharge vessel mount on which the discharge vessel is mounted, and a cap (10), which comprises a housing (11), connecting contacts (12) and a mounting plate (13) with a ballast apparatus (15), with the mounting plate being fitted with the ballast arrangement in the interior of the cap housing, and having connections for electrical connection of the mounting plate to the power supply leads and to the connecting contacts. The discharge vessel mount in this case comprises a plate (5) which is mounted in a further mount, with the further mount in turn being mounted on the housing of the cap. The further mount may be in the form of an enveloping bulb (2) or a reflector for the discharge vessel, or in the form of a closure cap (20) for the cap housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric incandescent lamp having a lamp vessel (12), at least one filament (14) which is arranged in the lamp vessel (12) and comprises at least a filament element (15) for generating radiation in the infrared region and in the visible region, and at least one filter (35), which is applied at least partially to the light vessel (12), reflects radiation in the infrared region and is transparent in the visible region, at least for selected wavelengths of radiation, at least one filament element (15) being of flat, in particular strip-shaped construction. It also relates to a method for producing such an electric incandescent lamp. FIG. 5.

Abstract: The compact low-pressure discharge lamp (1) has a wound tubular discharge vessel (2) with at least four straight tubes (6, 7) which are in a polygonal arrangement and, close to or at the ends of the straight tubes (6, 7), are connected by transverse connections (8, 10, 11) to form a single continuous discharge path which is closed off in a gastight manner. A coil spring (14) made from metal, which runs parallel to the tubes (6, 7) is arranged in the center of the cylindrical cavity (13) formed by the straight tubes (6, 7) of the discharge vessel (2). The coil spring (14) reduces the firing voltage required.

Abstract: The reflector lamp has a lamp support (10) which permanently connects the bulb (3) to the reflector neck (7). To this end, the lamp support has a clamping device (23) which cooperates with a web (11) on the reflector neck.

Abstract: As its filling, a halogen incandescent lamp contains noble gas, halogen additive, carbon as well as nitrogen and oxygen in the form of a nitrogen-oxygen compound, preferably N.sub.2 O.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system composed of a halogen incandescent lamp d a matching socket, substantial advantages with regard to environmental friendliness and cost being achieved by using a high-voltage or medium-voltage halogen incandescent lamp having a simple glass cap and by holding the lamp in the socket on the glass cap, without the safety aspect being neglected.

Abstract: A reflector lamp may be made with a reflector and base holding a hermeticy sealed bulb. The bulb encloses a filling and a light source, the light source being a high voltage or medium voltage light source in which an operating voltage of at least 80 volts is present. The reflector consists of a basic body with a reflector contour and a neck part attached to a rear portion of the basic body, and a base which is joined to the neck part and which has at least two metallic contact pins with cylindrical seals on an end farthest from the bulb. A current feeder system makes an electrical lead available for use by the light source. The base is formed completely from the same material as the neck part and as an integral part directly on the neck part of the reflector.

Abstract: Halogen bulb without additional safety device for high-volt/intermediate-t operation with a bulb pinched on one side produces an inherent safety effect by producing a current lead segment that is pinched from an uncoiled wire with a diameter of 130 .mu.m at most and the distance between the two current leads is suitably selected.
