摘要： A lighting system includes a high intensity discharge metal halide lamp having an arc discharge chamber with electrodes at each end and containing a fill of mercury, rare gas and metal halides, and a ballast circuit configured to supply pulsed electrical power to the lamp. The ballast circuit includes a controller configured to adjust the pulsed lamp power between a first relatively high power level at a relatively high duty cycle and a second relatively low power level at a relatively low duty cycle. The controller may be configured to adjust the pulsed lamp power between 90% duty cycle at rated lamp power and 10% duty cycle at 30% of the rated lamp power. The duty cycle of the pulsed lamp power may be controlled to maintain a substantially constant correlated color temperature (CCT) as the power level is adjusted.

摘要： In a conventional electrodeless discharge lamp, a large amount of magnetic field leaks from at light-transparent envelope, and the efficiency of conversion from electric power to light energy is low. In a electrodeless discharge lamp in which light-emitting gases in a light-transparent envelope are excited with a magnetic field generated from a coil, end portions of a magnetic material included in the coil are substantially axially disposed in the light-transparent envelope. As a result, the magnetic flux which leaks outside the light-transparent envelope is decreased so the density of the magnetic flux in the envelope is increased and the efficiency of the lamp is improved.

摘要： An electrodeless fluorescent lamp and fixture which operates at the frequency range of 50-1000 KHz and power from 20 to 200 W is disclosed. The lamp includes a bulbous envelope (1) filled with rare gas and metal vapor and a reentrant cavity (5). The inner walls of the envelope are coated with phosphor (2) and a protective coating (3). An induction coil (9), made from multiple strands of wire having very low resistance at frequencies below 1000 KHz, together with a ferrite core (10), having high permeability and low power losses, generates an inductively-coupled plasma in the envelope volume. The plasma generates visible and UV radiation that is converted into visible light by the phosphor coated on the envelope walls. A metallic cylinder (13), placed inside the ferrite core (10), removes the heat generated by the plasma from the coil and ferrite core and redirects the heat to the lamp base and thence to the lamp fixture. The power efficiency of the lamp operated at frequencies 200-300 KHz and its efficacy are the same as those in electrodeless RF lamps operated at frequencies of 2.65 MHz and at 13.56 MHz.

摘要： A flat compact fluorescent lamp is disclosed. The lamp contains a fill of rcury and inert gas. It includes a top panel and bottom glass panel and a convoluted glass partition having a substantially planar upper surface disposed between the inner surfaces of the top and bottom panels. The partition forms a convoluted channel having an initial and a terminal end. One edge of the partition is integrally molded with the bottom panel and a peripheral portion is joined to the inner surface of the top panel. An inner portion of the partition can engage the inner surface of the top panel. The inner portion has a predetermined width at the point of its engagement and a predetermined spacing between the point and the top panel. A layer of frit of predetermined thickness is used to join the peripheral portion of the convoluted partition to the inner surface of the top panel. The frit layer forms a sealed envelope with the top and bottom panels, whereby to provide the predetermined spacing and form a convoluted channel within the envelope. A conventional phosphor coating is disposed on the inner surface of the envelope and at least two electrodes are disposed at the initial and terminal ends of the convolution whereby an arc can be formed in the lamp between the electrodes thereby to excite the phosphor to emit light.

摘要： Manufacture of a substantially flat compact fluorescent lamp using a molded cup-like continuous concentric (spiralled) channel and a circular plate, resembling a lid for the cup. The cup with the channel is coated with a light reflective layer followed by a phosphor layer (whereas the lid, on one side, is coated with the phosphor layer only) and has two holes through which two electrodes are sealed such that one of the said holes has, in addition to the electrode, an integral exhaust tubulation. The space between the cup and the lid is filled with a material capable of emitting ultraviolet under electrical excitation. Electrical discharge created between the electrodes, strictly follows the path of the channel physically imposed by the sealed structure, in spite of a nonsealed contact of the top surface of the channel walls and the plane surface of the lid. On absorption of the ultra-violet from the discharge, the phosphor emits visible radiation.
