Abstract

A fluorescent lamp (10) comprises an elongate hollow body (12) wherein a gas discharge lamp means (14) is mounted. Said body (12) further comprises an electronic mains connecting device (16) connecting said gas discharge lamp means (14) to a power line (18).

Description

Leuchtstoffröhren sind sehr effektive Lichtquellen. Ein Nachteil ist allerdings, daß im Vorschaltgerät (Drossel) eine erhebliche Blind- und Verlustleistung anfällt.Fluorescent tubes are very effective light sources. A disadvantage is, however, that in the ballast (choke) a considerable Reactive and power loss arises.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, durch einfaches Aus­ wechseln von Leuchtstoffröhre und Starter die Blind- und Verlust­ leistung in der Drossel zu verhindern, d. h. nach Einsatz der neuen elektronischen Leuchtstoffröhre ist der Leistungsfaktor ca. 1.0, Blind- und Verlustleistung in der Drossel entfallen, auch wenn die Drossel in der Leuchte verbleibt.The invention is based, simply by off alternate the fluorescent tube and starter the blind and loss prevent performance in the throttle, d. H. after using the new electronic fluorescent tube is the power factor approx. 1.0, reactive and power loss in the choke are eliminated, even if the choke remains in the lamp.

Beschreibungdescription

In einem Außenrohr aus Glas oder Kunststoff (5) ist ein elektro­ nisches Vorschaltgerät (3) mit der Miniatur-Leuchtstoffröhre (4) kontaktiert durch Kontakt (7) und Rückleitung (6). Die Stromver­ sorgung erfolgt durch Standard-Leuchtstoffröhren-Sockel (1). Standard-Sockel (2) ist kurzgeschlossen. Dies bedeutet, daß in einer normal verschalteten Leuchte nur noch ein kurzgeschlosse­ ner Starter eingesetzt werden muß, damit Sockel (1) mit der Netzspannung versorgt wird. Das Außenrohr (5) kann evtl. auch als halbseitiger Reflektor ausgeführt werden; dadurch kann die Lichtleistung auf eine Seite gebündelt werden.In an outer tube made of glass or plastic ( 5 ) is an electronic ballast ( 3 ) with the miniature fluorescent tube ( 4 ) contacted by contact ( 7 ) and return line ( 6 ). The power supply is provided by standard fluorescent tube bases ( 1 ). Standard base ( 2 ) is short-circuited. This means that only a short-circuited starter has to be used in a normally connected lamp, so that base ( 1 ) is supplied with the mains voltage. The outer tube ( 5 ) can possibly also be designed as a half-sided reflector; this allows the light output to be bundled on one side.

Sockel (2) kann evtl. entfallen, wenn die Röhre direkt an der Netzspannung betrieben wird, wobei evtl. Sockel (1) durch ein fest angeschlossenes Netzkabel oder eine andere Kontaktierung ersetzt wird. (Steckverbindung, Lampensockel E 27, E 14, Bajonettsockel oder Lüsterklemme). Socket ( 2 ) may not be necessary if the tube is operated directly from the mains voltage, whereby socket ( 1 ) may be replaced by a permanently connected mains cable or another contact. (Plug connection, lamp base E 27, E 14, bayonet base or luster terminal).
