Abstract:
Coating systems suitable for use in fluorescent lamps, particularly as scattering agents within a UV-reflecting coating for the purpose of improving fluorescent lamp luminosity. Such a coating system is provided on a transparent or translucent substrate and includes a phosphor coating and a scattering agent that scatters UV rays. The scattering agent includes an inorganic powder present in a separate UV-reflecting layer adjacent the phosphor coating and/or dispersed in the phosphor coating so that the scattered UV rays are absorbed by the phosphor coating and cause the phosphor coating to emit visible light. The inorganic powder exhibits low or no absorption to UV rays having wavelengths of 185 nm and 254 nm and is not reactive with mercury.

Abstract:
Described are methods and apparatus for providing fluorescent lamps having a two-layer phosphor coating that includes a base coating and a top coating that economically provides a high color rendering index (CRI) of at least 87 with improved brightness. In an embodiment, a low-pressure discharge lamp includes a light transmissive envelope having a basecoat phosphor layer disposed on an inner surface, wherein the basecoat phosphor layer includes less than ten percent weight of a rare earth phosphor. Also included is a topcoat phosphor layer on a surface of the base coat phosphor layer that includes a blend of at least red, green, green-blue and blue emitting rare earth phosphors, and a fill gas composition within the light transmissive envelope.
