Abstract: A high-intensity discharge lamp which has a lamp current-interrupting device in series circuit with the arc tube which is sensitive to any breach occurring in the protective outer envelope. The current-interrupting constituent of the device initially incorporated into the lamp comprises vanadium sesquioxide. The device has predetermined dimensions and an initial predetermined operating resistance. During normal operation of the lamp the device operates at a predetermined temperature sufficiently low so that said device is stable in the presence of the non-reactive atmosphere enclosed by the outer envelope. The predetermined temperature also being sufficiently high so that upon a breach occurring in the outer envelope permitting oxygen to enter, the vanadium sesquioxide rapidly converts to vanadium pentoxide to interrupt the continuity of the power circuit to the arc tube and prevent the operation of the lamp.

Abstract: A coupling electrode is placed within the vacuum envelope of an electron tube of coaxial geometry which is insulated from the anode of the tube by means of an insulator. The insulator is joined to the coupling electrode and the anode of the tube by means of flanged collars. One of these collars may serve to connect the coupling electrode to one or a number of external circuits. A capacitive coupling is established between a top cap of one grid of the tube, namely the grid cap located nearest the coupling electrode, and the coupling electrode. The distance and therefore the coupling capacitance between the grid cap and the coupling electrode can be made variable by mounting the coupling electrode on a deformable metallic bellows element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting unit utilizing an energy efficient arc lamp as the main source of light supplemented by a standby filamentary lamp, the filament serving as a resistive ballast for the arc lamp during normal operation. The lighting unit is designed for functional similarity to an incandescent lamp, the filament providing immediate illumination when the lighting unit is first energized and continuing illumination until the arc lamp itself produces light. In accordance with the invention, if the arc lamp does not start within a predetermined period, the application of starting potentials produced through operation of a solid state switch and a high frequency step-up transformer is discontinued and the lighting unit rendered inactive. Exemplary means includes a positive temperature coefficient thermistor responsive to the temperature rise of the solid state switch. The solid state switch is connected in a normally off, monostable configuration and requires a trigger oscillator to generate a separate pulse for each switch conduction interval. The resistance rise in the thermistor is used to prevent trigger oscillations by causing saturation of the trigger oscillator transistor at a current level sufficient for self-heating of the thermistor. The solid state switch is latched in an off state until power is removed.

Abstract: An HID lamp has a very positive acting and simple resilient safety switch positioned proximate the inner surface of the bulb portion of the protective outer envelope and in contact therewith which maintains the switch in a closed position. When the envelope is shattered, the closed switch will open to break the electrical path to the arc tube, thereby rendering the lamp inoperative.
