Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Metallhalogenid-Hochdruckentladungslampe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Metallhalogenid-Hochdruckentladungslampen dieser Art werden insbesondere in Beleuchtungssystemen für Bühne, Film und Fernsehen eingesetzt, wo Licht mit Farbtemperaturen zwischen 4000 und 9000 K und sehr guter Farbwiedergabe in allen Farbtemperaturbereichen benötigt wird. Neuerdings finden diese Lampen auch in der Projektionstechnik und der Effektbeleuchtung Verwendung.Metal halide high-pressure discharge lamps of this type are used in particular in lighting systems for stage, film and television, where light with color temperatures between 4000 and 9000 K and very good color rendering is required in all color temperature ranges. Recently, these lamps have also been used in projection technology and effect lighting.

Aus der DE-PS 19 40 539 und der DE-PS 21 14 804 sind Quecksilberdampf-Hochdruckentladungslampen mit Halogenidzusätzen von Dysprosium und/oder Holmium und/oder Thulium bekannt. Diese Lampen geben Licht mit einer tageslichtähnlichen spektralen Zusammensetzung und einer Farbtemperatur von ca. 6000 K ab. Nachteilig ist jedoch, daß bei diesen Lampen der Farbwiedergabeindex noch keine optimalen Werte aufweist und insbesondere - wie bei den meisten anderen auf dem Markt befindlichen Hochdruckentladungslampen für diesen Anwendungszweck - der Wiedergabeindex R9 für die roten Farbtöne nur höchstens Werte der Stufe 3 mit einem R9 von etwa 40 erreicht. Die richtige Wiedergabe von Rottönen, wie sie insbesondere auch bei der Farbe der Haut vorliegen, ist bei Film, Fernsehen und Bühne von großer BedeutungFrom DE-PS 19 40 539 and DE-PS 21 14 804 mercury vapor high-pressure discharge lamps with halide additions of dysprosium and / or holmium and / or thulium are known. These lamps emit light with a spectral composition similar to daylight and a color temperature of approx. 6000 K. However, it is disadvantageous that the color rendering index of these lamps does not yet have optimal values, and in particular - like most of the other high-pressure discharge lamps on the market for this purpose - the rendering index R 9 for the red hues only has a maximum of level 3 values with an R 9 of about 40 reached. The correct reproduction of shades of red, as is particularly the case with the color of the skin, is of great importance for film, television and stage

EP-A-0 391 283 offenbart eine Mettallhalogenid-Hochdruckentladungslampe mit einer Füllung, die neben einem Edelgas und Quecksilber Bromide der Elemente Dy, Tm, Tl, Cs und zusätzlich ThJ4 aufweist, wobei Th durch Hf ersetzt sein kann. Mit dieser Füllung werden eine Farbtemperatur von 5600 K und ein Farbwiedergabeindex von 92 erreicht.EP-A-0 391 283 discloses a high pressure metal halide discharge lamp with a filling which, in addition to an inert gas and mercury, contains bromides of the elements Dy, Tm, Tl, Cs and additionally ThJ 4 , where Th can be replaced by Hf. With this filling, a color temperature of 5600 K and a color rendering index of 92 are achieved.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Metallhalogenid-Hochdruckentladungslampe zu schaffen, die Strahlung mit einer Farbtemperatur zwischen 4000 und 9000 K und einem allgemeinen Farbwiedergabeindex Ra von größer 90 abgibt, wobei insbesondere der Farbwiedergabeindex R9 für den roten Spektralbereich Werte von 50 und mehr erreicht.The object of the invention is to provide a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp which emits radiation with a color temperature between 4000 and 9000 K and a general color rendering index Ra of greater than 90, the color rendering index R 9 in particular reaching values of 50 and more for the red spectral range.

Die Aufgabe wird durch das kennzeichnende Merkmal des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The object is achieved by the characterizing feature of claim 1. Further advantageous features can be found in the subclaims.

Durch die Verwendung von im wesentlichen nur Hafnium und/oder Zirkon als Metall für die Metallhalogenidfüllung kann die Farbwiedergabe weiter verbessert werden, wobei für den roten Wiedergabeindex R9 je nach Lampentyp Werte zwischen 50 und 98 erreicht werden. Der allgemeine Farbwiedergabeindex Ra weist dabei immer Werte von über 90 auf.By using essentially only hafnium and / or zirconium as metal for the metal halide filling, the color rendering can be further improved, values between 50 and 98 being achieved for the red rendering index R 9, depending on the lamp type. The general color rendering index Ra always has values of over 90.

Insbesondere zeigt bei Betrieb der Lampen an einem Dimmer der Lampenkolben keine Schwärzung mehr. Der Farbwiedergabeindex bricht mit abnehmender Leistung nicht mehr ein, so daß auch hier gute Farbwiedergabewerte erreicht werden. Durch das Hafnium und/oder Zirkon wird eine Erhöhung der Brennspannung erzielt, die es gestattet, bei gleicher Quecksilber-Dosierung den Elektrodenabstand zu verkürzen, um somit höhere Leuchtdichten zu erhalten. Außerdem weisen die Lampen mit im wesentlichen nur Hafnium- und/oder Zirkonfüllung eine verminderte Entglasung auf.In particular, when the lamps are operated on a dimmer, the lamp bulb no longer shows any blackening. The color rendering index no longer drops with decreasing performance, so that good color rendering values are also achieved here. The hafnium and / or zirconium increases the burning voltage, which makes it possible to shorten the electrode spacing with the same mercury dosage in order to obtain higher luminance levels. In addition, the lamps with essentially only hafnium and / or zirconium filling have reduced devitrification.

Optimale Ergebnisse werden erzielt, wenn das Entladungsgefäß pro ml des Gefäßvolumens 0,02 bis 6 mg Hafnium enthält. Bei der Verwendung von Zirkon sollte die Füllung vorteilhaft pro ml des Gefäßvolumens 0,01 bis 4 mg dieses Metalls enthalten. Als Halogene werden vorteilhaft Jod und Brom in einem Molverhältnis zwischen 0,2 und 5 verwendet. Das Entladungsgefäß sollte außerdem Cäsium bis zu einer Menge von 4 mg pro ml des Gefäßvolumens enthalten.Optimal results are achieved if the discharge vessel contains 0.02 to 6 mg hafnium per ml of the vessel volume. When using zirconium, the filling should advantageously contain 0.01 to 4 mg of this metal per ml of the vessel volume. Iodine and bromine in a molar ratio between 0.2 and 5 are advantageously used as halogens. The discharge vessel should also contain cesium in an amount of up to 4 mg per ml of the vessel volume.

Zur Einstellung der gewünschten Farbtemperatur zwischen 4000 und 9000 K kann das Entladungsgefäß zusätzlich eines oder mehrere Seltenerdmetalle sowie Nickel und/oder Kobalt enthalten.To set the desired color temperature between 4000 and 9000 K, the discharge vessel can additionally contain one or more rare earth metals as well as nickel and / or cobalt.

Andere Zusätze, die untersucht worden sind, haben keine Verbesserung im angestrebten Sinn erbracht und sind nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung.Other additives that have been investigated have not brought about any improvement in the intended sense and are not the subject of the present invention.

Die Erfindung ist anhand der nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiele näher veranschaulicht.

Die dem Entladungsraum abgewandten Enden der Dichtungsfolien 7, 8 sind mit Stromzuführungen 9, 10 verschweißt. Am Übergang der Elektroden 5, 6 zu den Dichtungsfolien 7, 8 sind Freiräume 11, 12 zwischen den Elektroden 5, 6 und dem Glasmantel der Hälse 3, 4 angeordnet, in denen sich abgetragenes Wolfram der Elektroden sowie kondensierte Verunreinigungen aus dem Innern der Lampe 1 sammeln können, so daß eine Schwärzung der für die Lichtabstrahlung wesentlichen Teile des Entladungsgefäßes 2 verhindert wird.1 shows a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp 1 with a power consumption of 400 W, as is used in a reflector system can. The discharge vessel 2 made of quartz glass has a spherical shape and has a neck 3, 4 at each of two diametrically opposite points, into which pin-shaped tungsten electrodes 5, 6 are melted by means of sealing foils 7, 8 made of molybdenum. The ends of the sealing foils 7, 8 facing away from the discharge space are welded to power supply lines 9, 10. At the transition of the electrodes 5, 6 to the sealing foils 7, 8, free spaces 11, 12 are arranged between the electrodes 5, 6 and the glass jacket of the necks 3, 4, in which tungsten of the electrodes is removed as well as condensed impurities from inside the lamp 1 can collect so that blackening of the parts of the discharge vessel 2 that are essential for the light radiation is prevented.
