Abstract:
A light assembly includes a metal halide light source having an arc tube with first and second legs extending from a discharge chamber. A light transmissive capsule surrounds the light source. A reflector is received in the capsule and has a large diameter, annular first portion that receives light from the discharge chamber and is dimensioned to operatively engage an inner surface of the capsule to mount the reflector assembly and light source relative to the capsule. In addition, a small diameter portion of the reflector assembly is received around the first leg. By electrically interconnecting the reflector with the second electrode assembly, namely the support leg, and positioning the small diameter portion closer to the first electrode assembly than the dimension between the electrode terminal ends allows the reflector to also serve as an ignition aid. The reflector is formed of a material that serves as a heat shield for the seal glass in the first leg and also serves as a heat shield for the capsule seal region.
Abstract:
A flat or substantially flat luminous structure including two walls having main faces facing one another and defining an internal space, a light source placed in the internal space and a power supply for the light source, and at least one substantially transparent part or an overall transparent part forming at least one light well. The structure is capable of illuminating via at least one luminous region of at least one of the main faces, an element having a reflective surface that reflects visible light, placed facing at least one part of the luminous region. The element is switchable and the reflective surface is capable of becoming a substantially transparent surface or an overall transparent surface over at least one area, and vice versa.
Abstract:
A single-ended ceramic discharge lamp is described which has an integral optical surface such as a parabolic or elliptical reflector. The single-ended configuration eliminates the need for the mounting structures found in double-ended lamps that can interfere with the light emitted from the lamp, particularly in focused beam applications.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an illumination apparatus which includes an illumination fixture having an open-type reflector and a metal halide lamp, and can suppress a decrease in intensity and occurrence of glare. The illumination apparatus includes a metal halide lamp and an illumination fixture. The metal halide lamp includes an arc tube which has therein a pair of electrodes, an inner tube which houses the arc tube and has a pinch seal part at one end, and an outer tube which houses the inner tube and has a base at one end. The illumination fixture includes a reflector having a concave reflecting surface, a socket, and an attachment. In the inner tube, a diffusing part which diffuses light emitted from the arc tube is formed in an area closer to a lower end of the inner tube than a center between the pair of electrodes.
Abstract:
A light source device includes an arc tube having a tube spherical portion containing a light emission portion and a pair of sealing portions, a reflector and a sub mirror having a reflecting portion and a fixing portion. The reflector is so shaped that at least an end on one side is removed in a cross-sectional view cut along a predetermined plane containing a revolution center axis. The fixing portion of the sub mirror is so constructed as to cover at least the sealing portion as one of the pair of the sealing portions of the arc tube through an area larger than the half of the outer circumference of the sealing portion.
Abstract:
A lighting apparatus including a reflector having a reflective exterior surface partially enclosing an interior space and defining a focal point within the interior space, and a high pressure discharge lamp positioned substantially at the focal point of the reflective exterior surface. In some examples, the high pressure discharge lamp includes an arc tube containing mercury, a metal halide, or sodium. In some examples, the reflective exterior surface extends along a longitudinal axis and curves around the longitudinal axis. In some example, the reflective exterior surface defines an elliptical paraboloid.

A light source device includes: a microwave power source which outputs a microwave; a light-emitting tube with an emission space where a light-emitting material, which emits light by input of the microwave, is filled; a first electrode which is provided at one side of the light-emitting tube and is electrically connected to the microwave power source; a second electrode which is provided at the other side of the light-emitting tube, the emission space being interposed between the first and second electrodes; and a reflecting plate which is electrically connected to the second electrode and which reflects the microwave such that an antinode of the amplitude of a standing wave of a high-frequency current is positioned in the emission space by making the microwave resonate.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a method of enhancing illumination by a variety of lamp types through the use of reflective technologies, for example, replacement of expensive high intensity density of mercury vapor lamps with low wattage fluorescent tubes having at least one and in some cases, up to three reflective surfaces for focusing otherwise lost light toward a target illumination area. Further, the placement of light sources at the focal point of said reflective surfaces aids in optimizing the amount of light focused in a desired direction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lamp primarily for projectors, which lamp comprises at least one light source, which light source is formed of at least one Electrode Less Plasma Source (ELPS), which light sources comprises a light bulb comprising a plasma material, which plasma material is excited to emit light by electromagnetic radiation, which lamp comprises at least a first reflector, which light source is placed inside the first reflector, which lamp further comprises at least a second reflector. The present invention further concerns a method for forming a beam of light generated from an ELPS light source, where the light is concentrated by a first reflector and where the light is further concentrated in a second reflector.
Abstract:
Methods for producing a quartz glass component with reflector layer are known in which a reflector layer composed of quartz glass acting as a diffuse reflector is produced on at least part of the surface of a substrate body composed of quartz glass. In order, taking this as a departure point, to specify a method which enables cost-effective and reproducible production of uniform SiO2 reflector layers on quartz glass components, it is proposed according to the invention that the reflector layer is produced by thermal spraying by means of SiO2 particles being fed to an energy carrier, being incipiently melted or melted by means of said energy carrier and being deposited on the substrate body. In the case of a quartz glass component obtained according to the method, the SiO2 reflector layer is formed as a layer which is produced by thermal spraying and has an opaque effect and which is distinguished by freedom from cracks and uniformity.
