  • a separation of the colors of the projected light is undesirable, one wishes rather a uniform color distribution of the light on the illuminated surface.
  • the object underlying the invention is therefore seen to provide a reflector lamp of the type described, in which, while avoiding the described demixing of the colors for a uniform distribution of the color components in the light, or for a good color mixture, is taken care of.

  • the discharge lamp 5 in the illustrated embodiment is a metal halide discharge lamp having electrical leads connected to terminals 2 'on the base 2, but corresponding problems with the condensate may also be caused by other means depending on their respective filling Discharge lamps occur, possibly even with electrodeless discharge lamps.
  • the reflector 3 has a concave reflector surface with two differently curved surface regions F1 and F2, wherein a rear, associated with the base 2, the first surface area F1 and a subsequent thereto, the front, of a lens 10 od.
  • second Surface area F2 are provided, which are formed by surfaces of revolution, each having a conic section line as a generator.

  • first surface area F1 is provided with spherical facets 11 in honeycomb structure and the second area area F2 is provided with flat spiral or cylindrical facets 12.
  • the depth T of the reflector is about 28 mm, the depth t1 of its first surface area F1 starting from its apex 13 about 8.5 mm and the depth t2 of its adjacent second surface area F2 about 19.5 mm.
  • the light emission center 5 ' The discharge lamp is about 4.3 mm away from said apex 13 and thus arranged approximately in the middle of the first surface area F1.
  • the focal point of the first area is approximately 5.8 mm from this apex 13.
  • the apex 13 of the parabolic surface or of the paraboloid of the first surface area F1 and the part 14 of the first surface area F1 immediately surrounding it, shown in dashed lines in FIGS. 1 and 2, are cut off by the base 2, as it is for the most part from the discharge space 7 of the discharge lamp 5 is covered and could make any significant contribution to the light reflection anyway.
  • Fig. 1 the beam path of the light passing through the condensate 6 and thereby discolored, and in general yellow discolored, is shown.
  • the light beams reflected by the first area F1 are shown as solid lines by the reference numeral 15, the light beams 16 reflected by the second area area F2 by dashed lines.
  • the angle of incidence of a light beam impinging on the reflector surface is equal to the angle of reflection thereof, regardless of whether these angles are measured with respect to a tangent applied to the impact surface on the reflector surface or to the solder deposited on this tangent at the point of impact. This applies in general and of course for all embodiments of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 the surface illuminated by the light beams 15 and 16 is shown, the illumination surface 19.

  • This surface covers the upper region of the illumination surface and does not reach all the way to the center 4 'of the illumination surface 19. Its center m2 is offset by the distance e2 from the center 4 'of the illumination surface 19 upwards.
  • the depth t1 of the first surface area F1 in this 50 mm reflector lamp 1 is essentially dependent on the length of the discharge chamber of the discharge lamp 5 and the position of the discharge lamp 5 or its light emission center 5 '. If the depth t1 and therefore the length of F1 became longer and longer, then the proportion of yellow light of the condensate reflected by F1 would become larger and larger and would be reflected downwards. Only a small proportion of the yellow light, only a fraction of it, would fall on the second surface area F2 and be reflected upwards. The result would be a more concentrated yellow light in the lower area of the illumination area 19 in the combination, which should be avoided.
