Definitions

  • Discharge devices such as high-pressure, mercury-vapor (HPMV lamps) are extensively used for outdoor and factory illumination.
  • the efficiency of these devices in generating visible light is excellent and a high-power source can be made relatively small, thereby eliminating the need for an excessive number of fixtures.
  • the light which is generated by such devices is concentrated primarily in the yellow and the green, which when blended together produce a generally white light. While the color of this light is not displeasing, the color rendition of objects illuminated by such light is not as good as desired.
  • US. Patent No. 2,748,- 303 to Thorington dated May 29, 1956, to color correct an HPMV lamp by placing a phosphor material on'the inner surface of the outer envelope which surrounds the arc tube.
  • the arc tube source In addition to visible light, the arc tube source generates an appreciable amount of ultra violet radiations and infrared radiation.
  • the phosphor material converts generated ultraviolet radiations into red radiations, in order to color correct the output of the lamp and to improve the color rendition of objects which are illuminated by the lamp.- To be of practical use, the phosphor which is used to color correct such a. lamp must have good output at relatively high temperatures and most photoluminescent phosphors, that is those which will convert ultraviolet radiations into visible radiations, have a relatively poor output at such elevated temperatures. Thus the phosphor materials which are available to color correct discharge devices, such as HPMV lamps, are few in number.
  • no phosphor is completely transparent with the result that some of the visible light which is generated by the mercury discharge source is absorbed as it traverses the phosphor. It is desirable to be able to color correct discharge devices such as HPMV lamps with various colors to supplement the visible light generated thereby. In addition, it is desirable to utilize substantially transparent materials for color correcting the visible light emitted by such discharge devices.
  • This additional envelope contains a quantity of selected organic material which at a selected range of elevated temperatures and under ultraviolet irradiation exists as a stable fluorescent gas.
  • the size and location of this additional envelope with respect to the power input to the arc tube discharge source are so selected that when the source is operated, the tempera ⁇ ture extremes encountered within the additional envelope fall Within the-selected temperature range at which the organic material exists as a stable fluorescent gas.

  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line II-II in Fig. l in the direction of the arrows, illustrating con.- structional details for the additional envelope which is utilized;

  • the principles of the invention are broadly applicable to any metal-vapor discharge device of any size, the invention is conveniently employed in conjunc tion with a high-pressure, mercury-vapor lamp designed to operate with a power input of 400 watts, and hence it has been so illustrated and will be so described.

  • the arc-tube mount 14, which supports the arc tube 12 within the outer envelope 16, includes two rod-like supports 39 which are electrically connected to a supporting lead conductor 32 and one of the electrodes 22.

  • additional channel supports 42 are provided at either end of the envelope 18and these channel supports are supported by retaining rings 44 which are welded'to the rod-like supports 30.
  • the channel supports 42 can be fabricated of metal or ceramic, the latter material providing better insulation against conductivity of heat from the rod-like supports 30 to any discrete portions of the additional envelope 18.
  • Contained within the additional envelope 18 is a quantity of organic material which at a selected range of elevated temperatures and under ultraviolet irradiation exists as a stable fluorescent gas.
  • the size and location of the additional envelope 18 are selected with respect to the size and location of the source and the power input thereto.

  • mercury-vapor discharge source While a mercury-vapor discharge source has been considered in detail in the foregoing description, it'should be understood that other metal-vapor discharge sources, such as zinc, cadmium or magnesium discharge sources, may be substituted for the mercury discharge source.
