摘要:
The invention provides a method of electrostatically coating a tubular glass envelope with phosphor for a filament lamp. The phosphor comprises a mixture of 100 parts by weight of phosphor, 0.01 to 3 parts by weight of a fatty acid having a melting point greater than 40°C or the ammonium, aluminium alkaline earth salts thereof, 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of finely divided aluminium oxide having a grain size smaller than 0.1 micron. The phosphor is applied to the tube by a venturi effect and results in a more uniformly applied coating than is provided using a suspension coating. Uniformity of the coating is measured by the disclosed optical densitometry test.
