Abstract: A U-shaped compact fluorescent sun-tanning lamp (10) capable of generating and transmitting desired and undesired wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation, for example, the desired wavelength is in the range of 352 nm and the undesired wavelength is in the range of 254 nm. The lamp (10) comprises two lamp tubes (12) that are transparent to the desired wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation and substantially opaque to the undesired wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation. The tubes (12) are connected at the upper portion by a bight (14) that in an unmodified state is transparent to both the desired and the undesired wavelengths of the ultraviolet radiation. A modification (16) on the bight (14) is opaque to at least the undesired wavelength of ultraviolet radiation. In a preferred embodiment the modification is a ceramic paint (18).

Abstract: A self-ballasted fluorescent lamp (10) that comprises a housing (12) formed to contain a ballast. The housing (12) has a top surface (14) with openings (16) leading from the exterior of the housing (12) to the interior. The openings (16) can be in the form of raised bosses having upstanding walls (16a). A restricted portion (18), which can take the form of a flange, is formed with the opening (16) and a safe end-of-life enabling device (20) is positioned in the opening (16) and in contact with the restricted portion (18). The safe end-of-life device (20) is tubular, has low thermal conductivity and in preferred forms of the invention is a glass such as quartz or a ceramic such as aluminum oxide. The ends (22) of a fluorescent lamp (24) penetrate the tubular end-of-life device (20) and extend into the interior of the housing for suitable connection to an enclosed electronic ballast. A retainer (26) is positioned opposite the restricted portion for maintaining the end-of-life device within the opening. The retainer (26) is a typical compact fluorescent cement that is used to fix the lamp to the housing. Alternatively, the retainer can be an adhesive silicone or a threaded washer.

Abstract translation: 一种自镇流荧光灯（10），包括形成为容纳镇流器的壳体（12）。 壳体（12）具有顶部表面（14），其具有从壳体（12）的外部引导到内部的开口（16）。 开口（16）可以是具有直立壁（16a）的凸起凸起的形式。 可以采用凸缘形式的限制部分（18）形成有开口（16），并且安全的使用寿命终止装置（20）定位在开口（16）中并与 限制部分（18）。 安全的寿命终止装置（20）是管状的，具有低导热性，并且本发明的优选形式是诸如石英或诸如氧化铝的陶瓷之类的玻璃。 荧光灯（24）的端部（22）穿过管状寿命终止装置（20）并延伸到壳体的内部，以适当地连接到封闭的电子镇流器。 保持器（26）与限制部分相对地定位，以将寿命终止装置保持在开口内。 保持器（26）是用于将灯固定到壳体的典型紧凑型荧光胶水。 或者，保持器可以是粘性硅树脂或带螺纹的垫圈。
