One end of the discharge tube is connected with the conductive sheet of the left end through a left internal conductive support, and the other end is connected with the conductive sheet of the right end through an auxiliary starting switch component. According to the high pressure sodium lamp, the high pressure sodium lamp can be quickly lit up through a temperature controlled switch so that the high pressure sodium lamp has the advantages of being great in starting performance, great in lighting effect, high in stability, long in the service life, great in high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance and safe and reliable and is not liable to crack.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a high intensity discharge light source having a thermally insulative and optically transparent sleeve for maintaining or enhancing a spectral performance parameter. The configuration of the sleeve provides an insulative volume that allows an elevated steady state operating temperature to be reached, even when the light source is cooled. The sleeve is also configured to withstand a bulb failure event, thereby protecting the surrounding environment from falling debris. Also provided herein are methods for dissipating heat from the light source without adversely affecting the bulb operating temperature or the enhanced spectral performance parameter.
Abstract:
A high-pressure discharge lamp may include a bulb, which surrounds a discharge volume, wherein a fill which contains mercury and a noble gas from the group consisting of neon, argon, krypton, xenon on its own or in a mixture is accommodated in the discharge volume, wherein the fill contains Gd in halide form in order to produce a color temperature of at least 7500 K.
Abstract:
The present high-pressure discharge lamp is composed of an arc tube part having an internal space, a pair of tungsten electrodes disposed in opposition to each other within the internal space, and mercury and halogen encapsulated in the internal space. The halogen is excessively encapsulated into the internal space relatively to the capacity of the internal space so as to establish an appropriate halogen cycle when the mercury partially deposits without evaporating.
