Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp with an average arc power of between 100 and 180 W per mm arc length according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Me allhalide high-pressure discharge lamps of this type are used in particular for glass fiber lighting systems in medicine (endoscopy) and technology (boroscopy), where light with color temperatures between 4500 and 7000 K and good to very good color rendering in all color temperature ranges and high illuminance levels are needed.
  • Glass fiber bundles require good focusing, ie a focus diameter that is less than or at most equal to the usable diameter of the glass fiber bundle.
  • the arc core is essentially imaged by a reflector or another optical system. Now the light emitted by the arc core does not contain all spectral components of the total emitted by the lamp Light, the color rendering property of the focused light may deteriorate compared to that of the unfocused light. It is therefore of great importance to specifically find filling components for use in the focusing systems mentioned which emit in the hot arc core and not only in the cooler arc edge.
  • Metal halide high-pressure discharge lamps with similarly short arcs and correspondingly high luminance are known from EP 0193 086, which emit light with good color rendering properties.
  • Lamps contain cadmium.
  • the toxic heavy metal cadmium must be supplied to the Rohstoff ⁇ circuit or properly disposed of after the end of lamp life again, as W is connected in both cases, with corresponding costs.
  • the lamps with Cd filling have a disturbing green tint, and the color locus lies above the Planck curve.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp which has a very short arc with a very high luminance and has a color temperature between 4500 and 7000 K at a color locus close to the Planck curve, and also good color rendering in combination with a strongly focused reflector or other optical system and achieves this goal with a cadmium-free filling.
  • the metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp according to the invention is operated at specific arc powers between 100 and 180 W per mm arc length. With the compact geometric dimensions of the lamp - very short electrode spacing (a few mm) and small vessel volume (a few tenths of a ml) - this corresponds to wall loads of 70-120 W per cm 2 wall area of the discharge vessel. By means of the filling components of the discharge vessel according to the invention, average luminances of 25-75 kcd per cm 2 of arc area are achieved, which can be focused on a light spot whose diameter is less than 10 mm with the aid of a reflector or other optical system.
  • the particular value of the invention is that the good to very good color rendering (Ra> ⁇ 75) is retained even after focusing, the color location being close to the Planck curve, and this is achieved with a fill that is based on the previously used toxic cadmium waived.
  • Dysprosium (Dy), hafnium (Hf), lithium (Li) and indium (In) are added to the filling of the lamp according to the invention, which consists of mercury, at least one noble gas and at least one halogen.
  • the fill quantities in ⁇ mol per ml vessel volume are advantageously between 0.3 and 3 for Dy, Hf and Li and between 0.2 and 2 for In.
  • Dysprosium ensures a high radiation flow in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and additionally contributes to the continuity component.
  • Hafnium also produces a multi-line spectrum and also reduces the tendency to devitrification by building a reinforced halogen jacket on the piston wall.
  • the high vapor pressure of the hafnium halides also reduces the tendency to bulge bulbs and consequently increases the useful luminous flux during the lamp life.
  • Lithium and indium increase the radiation flow, especially in the red and blue parts of the optical spectral range.
  • the emitted light has a spectral composition that comes very close to that of Planck's radiation, i.e. has good to very good color rendering properties.
  • light with a color temperature between 4500 and 7000 K can be generated.
  • the lamp according to the invention is preferably used in dichroic special reflectors which essentially depict the inner arc core.
  • the specific choice of the two atomic emitters lithium and indium, which preferably emit in the hot arc core, ensures that the good color rendering properties are retained in the focus of this reflector.
  • the use of lithium in combination with hafnium achieves high color stability, ie the color temperature changes only slightly within the lamp life.
  • the discharge vessel can additionally contain up to 3 ⁇ mol cesium per cm 3 vessel volume.
  • iodine and bromine are advantageously used in a molar ratio between 0.3 and 1.5.
  • the lamp contains mercury of typically a few tens to a few hundred ⁇ mol per cm 3 of vessel volume and an inert gas, for example argon, as the base gas.
  • the filling pressure of the rare gas in the cold lamp is less than atmospheric pressure - typically a few 10 kPa - so that safe handling is possible in this case.
  • the pressure range is high enough that undesired evaporation of the tungsten electrodes and thus blackening of the discharge vessel is largely prevented during ignition.
  • the metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp according to the invention is preferably used in a reflector which is fixedly connected to the lamp, but it is also possible to use the lamp without a firmly connected reflector.
  • Fig. 1 is a partially sectioned side view of a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp with reflector
  • FIG. 1 shows a metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp 2 permanently installed in a reflector 1 with a power consumption of 270 W.
  • the lamp 2 lies with its axis in the axis of the reflector 1. While an electrode shaft 3 is fastened in the ceramic base 5 by means of cement 4, the other electrode shaft 6 is held on the ceramic end ring 8 of the reflector 1 by copper strips 7 which simultaneously serve as current leads.
  • the metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp 2 has a discharge vessel 9, the volume of which is 0.35 cm 3 .
  • the electrodes 10, 11 are connected to the power supply lines 14, 15 at a spacing of 2.2 mm via molybdenum foils 12, 13 which are melted down in a vacuum-tight manner.
  • a power connection 16 is mounted in the base 5, the other (not visible here) on the end ring 8 of the reflector 1.
  • the reflector 1 In the focal plane, the reflector 1 generates an essentially circular light spot of the light output . ⁇ with an almost Gaussian spatial distribution of the illuminance E (r). In polar coordinates, therefore, approximately applies

  • the following table shows a filling according to the invention of the discharge vessel 9 of the lamp 2 from FIG. 1 and the light-technical data obtained for this lamp (color rendering index Ra for lamp 2 including reflector 1).

  • FIG. 2 The balanced spectral composition of the light emitted from the arc core - a prerequisite for good color rendering when using a focusing reflector - is documented in FIG. 2.
  • the relative light intensity is plotted in relative units on the ordinate and the wavelength in nanometers (nm) on the abscissa.
  • the spectral resolution of the spectrometer used is approximately 1.5 nm.

Abstract

Lampe à halogénures métalliques à décharge sous haute pression (2), appropriée notamment au montage dans des sytèmes optiques (1), fonctionnant à des puissances d'arc spécifiques comprises entre 100 et 180 W par mm de longueur d'arc. Pour la formation d'halogénures métalliques, le récipient à décharge (9) contient, pour un volume de 1 cm3, entre 0,3 et 3 νmol, repectivement de dysprosium, d'hafnium et de lithium, et entre 0,2 et 2 νmol d'indium, ce qui permet d'obtenir des luminances comprises entre 25 et 75 kcd/cm2, pour des températures de couleur comprises entre 4500 et 7000 K. Au moyen d'un réflecteur spécial (1), on obtient des spots lumineux d'environ 4mm de diamètre et un indice du rendu des couleurs Ra, de 80. Il est ainsi possible d'utiliser la lampe en combinaison avec de minces faisceaux de fibres de verre, à des fins d'éclairage, par exemple, pour l'endoscopie.
