    摘要: An electrodeless high intensity discharge (HID) lamp having an arc tube, a starting aid, and an outer jacket all integrally formed of fused quartz, includes an excitation circuit for providing RF energy effective for initiating and maintaining a gas discharge within the arc tube. The arc tube is positioned within the outer jacket such that a minimum space exists between the outer jacket and the arc tube thereby allowing the efficient coupling of such RF energy to the arc tube by means of an excitation coil wound in close proximate location to the arc tube. The starting aid is of a substantially smaller dimension than the arc tube thereby allowing for a second spacing to occur above the arc tube. This second spacing is effective for optimum thermal management of heat generated within the outer jacket. The upper end of the outer jacket has an integrally formed annular groove for receiving an annular support member effective for securing the HID lamp to a lighting fixture.

    摘要: An electrodeless high intensity discharge (HID) lamp arc tube having a stabilized condensate location. The arc tube contains a predetermined location or distortion on the inside surface of the arc tube. The distortion may be a protrusion on the inside surface of the arc tube formed during the arc tube forming process. In operation of the lamp, the non gaseous dose remains condensed substantially in the cold spot region formed by said protrusion so that the arc tube walls remain clear for maximal light output, and the arc tube remains stable and efficacious to substantially higher power than is the case for arc tubes without the distortion.

    摘要: This electrodeless high intensity discharge lamp including a light-transmissive arc tube having spaced wall portions of dielectric material and a first gaseous fill within the arc tube. An excitation coil about the arc tube is energizable with RF current effective to develop a toroidal arc discharge in the first gaseous fill upon a dielectric breakdown of the fill. A starting container is joined to the arc tube and has an end wall constituted by one of said arc-tube wall portions. A second gaseous fill within the starting container has a dielectric strength lower than that of the first gaseous fill. For initiating the rotoidal arc discharge, we provide an arrangement for producing a dielectric breakdown of the gaseous fill within the starting container that develops into an electric discharge that changes the potential at the end wall in such a manner as to cause a dielectric breakdown of the first gaseous fill.

    摘要: A gas probe starter for an electrodeless high intensity discharge (HID) lamp includes a fixed starting electrode for coupling a starting voltage to a chamber which is attached to the outer wall of the arc tube and contains a gas. The gas in the starting chamber, which is preferably at a low pressure relative to that of the arc tube fill, is switched between conducting and nonconducting states corresponding to lamp-starting and normal running operation, respectively. To start the lamp, the starting voltage is applied to the starting electrode, causing a discharge current to flow in the gas chamber which, in turn, results in the capacitive coupling of a sufficiently high voltage to the arc tube in order to initiate an arc discharge therein. After the arc discharge is initiated, the starting voltage is substantially reduced so that the discharge current in the starting chamber is extinguished.
