摘要:
A fluorescent lighting device includes an arc tube, an exhaust tube extending from the arc tube, and an amalgam. A resistive heater is located adjacent to at least one of the arc tube and the exhaust tube. A power supply circuit is operatively coupled with the resistive heater. When the fluorescent lighting device is switched from an OFF state to an ON state, the power supply circuit temporarily energizes the resistive heater, thereby heating the at least one of the arc tube and the exhaust tube while the resistive heater is energized, and automatically de-energizing the resistive heater after said heating.

A fluorescent lighting device includes a ballast and a tube. An amalgam is located within the tube. A resistive heater is operatively coupled with the ballast, to receive electrical power from the ballast while the fluorescent lighting device is in an OFF state. The resistive heater is mounted near the amalgam to transfer heat to the amalgam while the fluorescent lighting device is in the OFF state.

The present disclosure relates to a lamp part fixing device and method for lamp components made of shape memory alloy. The device includes a main body that carries, for example, a main or auxiliary amalgam, getter, etc. located at a desired position within a discharge tube of a fluorescent lamp. For example, the amalgam can be advantageously located at preselected axial locations and/or within a diffusion path. The main body is configurable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration allows the mount to move within the discharge tube when the shape memory alloy is below an alloy transition temperature. The second configuration of the main body allows for controlled placement and immobilization of the device within the discharge tube when the shape memory alloy is raised above the alloy transition temperature. The device is shaped in a generally planar or non-planar configuration.
摘要:
A lamp assembly provides both instantlight through use of an incandescent/halogen lamp source and an energy saving type light provided by a compact fluorescent lamp source. Both light sources are fixed within the assembly by a fixing mechanism that spaces the lights sources from each other such that heat from one source does not negatively affect the second light source or any other portion of the assembly.
摘要:
A lamp assembly provides both instant light through use of an incandescent/halogen lamp source and an energy saving type light provided by a compact fluorescent lamp source. Both light sources are enclosed within a common envelope or outer bulb. The sensor member monitors light output from a central region of the CFL at a region spaced from the first and second ends in order to obtain an accurate representation of full light output from the CFL before shutting off or terminating power to the incandescent lamp source.

摘要:
A fluorescent lamp includes an arc tube comprised of light transmissive material. The arc tube can be for a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL). A discharge sustaining fill, which may include mercury and an inert gas, is sealed in the interior of the arc tube. Electrodes are disposed in the sealed interior of the arc tube. An outer envelope is disposed around and spaced apart from the arc tube. The outer envelope can take the form of a conventional incandescent light bulb, candle, globe-shape or reflector shape. The outer envelope includes an opening. The arc tube includes a hollow protrusion that extends adjacent or into the opening. This can provide the arc tube with a lower temperature near the protrusion that can approximate the temperature of the outer envelope (a cold spot). This can regulate the vapor pressure of liquid (e.g., liquid mercury) in the arc tube.
摘要:
A hybrid lamp apparatus is presented having a primary lamp circuit with a CFL and an electronic ballast, as well as a Halogen or incandescent secondary lamp circuit with a control circuit that shuts off the secondary lamp a time period after powerup, where the secondary lamp time period varies according to the amount of time the apparatus was previously unpowered.
