Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a gas discharge mirror lamp according to the preamble of claim 1.

Sie dient insbesondere zur Vervollkommnung der Konstruktion der Gasentladungs-Spiegellampen, welche für Allgemein- und Sonderbeleuchtungen angewendet werden.In particular, it serves to perfect the design of the gas discharge mirror lamps, which are used for general and special lighting.

Es ist eine Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe bekannt, welche einen im Ballon eingebauten Brenner aufweist. Die Innenoberfläche des Ballons ist mit einer Spiegelschicht versehen (Urheberschein der UdSSR Nr. 1069032, 23.01.84 .).There is a gas discharge mirror lamp is known which has a built-in balloon burner. The inner surface of the balloon is provided with a mirror layer (certificate of the USSR No. 1069032, 23.01.84 .).

Durch US 5,041,755 ist eine Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe bekannt. Die Lampe hat einen Brenner, der an den Stromanschlüssen einer ballonförmigen Umhüllung angeschlossen ist. Entlang einer Längsachse der Lampe mündet der Ballon auf der einen Seite in einen Hals, welcher die Stromanschlüsse trägt. Auf der anderen Seite mündet der Ballon nippelförmig in einem zylindrischen Topf. Ein Teil der Innenfläche des Ballons ist derart mit einer Spiegelschicht bedeckt, dass eine über die Längskanten der Spiegelschicht verlaufende Ebene parallel zur Längsachse des Brenners verläuft. Die Spiegelschicht ist durch eine Querkante begrenzt, welche in dem Bereich liegt, der durch den Hals des Ballons begrenzt ist. Das nippelförmige Ende ist oberhalb der Längskante vollständig mit der Spiegelschicht versehen. Der Brenner ist so angeordnet, dass im Querschnitt über das Zentrum des Ballons das Verhältnis des Abstands zwischen der Brennerachse und der nächstliegenden Oberfläche der Spiegelschicht zum Abstand zwischen der Brennerachse und der Längskante der Spiegelschicht, die im Längsschnitt liegt, zwischen 0,6 und 1,0 beträgt. Ein Stromanschluss ist zwischen dem Brenner und der Spiegelschicht angeordnet.By US 5,041,755 is a gas discharge mirror lamp known. The lamp has a burner connected to the power connections of a balloon-shaped enclosure. Along a longitudinal axis of the lamp, the balloon opens on one side into a neck, which carries the power connections. On the other side, the balloon flows nippelförmig in a cylindrical pot. A part of the inner surface of the balloon is covered with a mirror layer such that a plane extending over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the burner. The mirror layer is bounded by a transverse edge which lies in the area bounded by the neck of the balloon. The nipple-shaped end is completely provided with the mirror layer above the longitudinal edge. The burner is arranged so that, in cross section across the center of the balloon, the ratio of the distance between the burner axis and the nearest surface of the mirror layer to the distance between the burner axis and the longitudinal edge of the mirror layer, which is in longitudinal section, is between 0.6 and 1, 0 is. A power connection is disposed between the burner and the mirror layer.

Durch DD 226 429 A1 ist eine Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe bekannt mit einem Brenner, der an die Stromanschlüsse eines als Ellipsoid oder als Röhre ausgebildeten Ballons angeschlossen ist. Der Ballon ist so mit einer Spiegelschicht bedeckt, dass die über die Längskanten der Spiegelschicht verlaufende Ebene zur Längsachse des Brenners gleichläuft oder diese sogar einschließt. Die Spiegelschicht kann gleichviel, weniger oder mehr als die Hälfte des Ballons bedecken. Dadurch kann eine über die Längskanten der Spiegelschicht verlaufende Ebene einen Abstand zur Ballonachse aufweisen, welcher im Bereich zwischen 0,00 D bis 0,50 D des maximalen Innendurchmessers des Ballons liegt. Der Brenner kann parallel zur Längsachse des Ballons um bis zu einem Viertel des Durchmessers des Ballons versetzt angeordnet sein. Dadurch kann in einem Querschnitt senkrecht zur Längsachse des Ballons das Verhältnis des Abstands zwischen der Brennerachse und der nächstliegenden Oberfläche der Spiegelschicht zum Abstand zwischen der Brennerachse und der Längskante der Spiegelschicht ca. 0,45 bis 1,0 betragen.By DD 226 429 A1 For example, a gas discharge mirror lamp is known with a burner connected to the power connections of a balloon designed as an ellipsoid or a tube. The balloon is covered with a mirror layer so that the plane passing over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer is equal to or even encloses the longitudinal axis of the burner. The mirror layer can cover as much, less, or more than half of the balloon. As a result, a plane extending over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer may have a distance to the balloon axis which lies in the range between 0.00 D to 0.50 D of the maximum inner diameter of the balloon. The burner can be offset parallel to the longitudinal axis of the balloon by up to a quarter of the diameter of the balloon. As a result, in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the balloon, the ratio of the distance between the burner axis and the nearest surface of the mirror layer to the distance between the burner axis and the longitudinal edge of the mirror layer can be about 0.45 to 1.0.

Der Mangel dieser technischen Lösung, welche als Stand der Technik betrachtet wird, ist ein gewisser Verlust am Lichtstrom der Lampen. Die Ursache besteht darin, dass ein Teil der von der Spiegelschicht abgespiegelten Strahlen auf den Brenner in gestreckter Form einfällt. Solche gestreckte Brennerform ist den Quecksilberdampf-, Halogen-Metalldampf- und Natriumdampflampen eigen. Deswegen ist es nicht möglich, unterschiedliche Lichtstärkekurven sowohl in der Längs- als auch in der Querebene zu bekommen. Das mindert wesentlich die Betriebseigenschaften der Lampen.The deficiency of this technical solution, which is considered as prior art, is a certain loss in the luminous flux of the lamps. The reason is that part of the reflected from the mirror layer rays incident on the burner in a stretched form. Such elongated burner form is intrinsic to the mercury vapor, metal halide and sodium vapor lamps. Therefore, it is not possible to get different light intensity curves both in the longitudinal and in the transverse plane. This significantly reduces the operating characteristics of the lamps.

Dem technischen Wesen nach ähnlich ist eine Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe, welche einen Brenner und einen Ballon aufweist. Der Brenner ist mit den Stromanschlüssen des Ballons verbunden. Mindestens die Hälfte der Innenoberfläche des Ballons ist mit einer Spiegelschicht bedeckt und zwar so, dass die Ebene, die über die Längskanten der Spiegelschicht verläuft, mit der Längsachse des Brenners gleichlaufend ist (Urheberschein der UdSSR, Nr. 1636896 A1, 23.03.91 ).Similar to the technical essence is a gas discharge mirror lamp, which has a burner and a balloon. The burner is connected to the power connections of the balloon. At least half of the inner surface of the balloon is covered with a mirror layer, in such a way that the plane which runs over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer is in line with the longitudinal axis of the burner (certificate of the USSR, no. 1636896 A1, 23.03.91 ).

Diese technischen Lösungen wurden als Stand der Technik genommen. Sie ermöglichen es, die Lampen mit hoher Lichtausbeute und mit unterschiedlichen Lichtstärkekurven sowohl in Längs- als auch in Querebenen herzustellen. Das ist besonders von Bedeutung, wenn solche Lampen zur Beleuchtung von Straßen, Treibhäusern usw. eingesetzt werden.These technical solutions have been taken as prior art. They make it possible to produce the lamps with high light output and with different light intensity curves both in longitudinal and in transverse planes. This is particularly important when such lamps are used to illuminate streets, hothouses, etc.

Der Mangel dieser bekannten Lampen besteht in den zu hohen Herstellkosten der Lampen wegen der zu komplizierten Fertigungstechnik des axialunsymmetrischen Ballons. Die weiteren Mängel sind eine ungleichmäßige Wandstärke der Ballons, da die Formen beim Einblasen bei der Herstellung der Lampen nicht gedreht werden können, sowie die hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit der Entstehung von Glasspannungen beim Betrieb der Lampe.The lack of these known lamps is the too high manufacturing costs of the lamps because of the complicated manufacturing technology of axialunsymmetrischen balloon. The other shortcomings are an uneven wall thickness of the balloons since the forms can not be rotated when blowing in the manufacture of the lamps, as well as the high probability of the formation of glass tensions during operation of the lamp.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, die mit gesenkten Kosten hergestellt werden kann und eine erhöhte Qualität aufweist.It is an object of the invention to provide a gas discharge mirror lamp of the type mentioned, which can be produced at a reduced cost and has an increased quality.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The stated object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Die Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe weist einen Brenner und einen Ballon auf. Der Brenner ist mit den Stromanschlüssen des Ballons verbunden. Mindestens die Hälfte der Innenoberfläche des Ballons ist mit einer Spiegelschicht bedeckt und zwar so, dass die Ebene, die über die Längskanten der Spiegelschicht verläuft, mit der Längsachse des Brenners gleichlaufend ist. Der Ballon der Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe ist als Ellipsoid ausgeführt. Die Querkanten der Spiegelschicht im Bereich, der durch den Hals und die Kuppel des Ballons begrenzt ist, liegen in den Querschnitten der Übergangszonen, wo der Hals und die Kuppel des Ballons zum Ellipsoidteil wechseln. Die Ebene, welche über die Längskanten der Spiegelschicht verläuft, weist einen Abstand H zur Ballonsachse auf. Diese Ebene liegt innerhalb von 0,04 D bis 0,11 D des max. Innendurchmessers D des Ballons. Der Brenner ist in der LängsSymmetrieebene angeordnet. Im Querschnitt, welcher über das Ellipsoid-Zentrum des Ballons verläuft, beträgt das Verhältnis des Abstands I zwischen der Brennerachse und der nächstliegenden Oberfläche der Spiegelschicht zum Abstand L zwischen der Brennerachse und der Kante der Spiegelschicht, welche im Längsschnitt liegt, ca. 0,56 bis 0,68. Mindestens ein Stromanschluss ist zwischen dem Brenner und der Spiegelschicht in der längsgerichteten Symmetrieebene angeordnet.The gas discharge mirror lamp has a burner and a balloon. The burner is connected to the power connections of the balloon. At least half of the inner surface of the balloon is covered with a mirror layer in such a way that the plane which extends over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer, with the longitudinal axis of the burner is synchronous. The balloon of the gas discharge mirror lamp is designed as an ellipsoid. The transverse edges of the mirror layer in the area delimited by the neck and dome of the balloon lie in the cross sections of the transitional zones where the neck and dome of the balloon change to the ellipsoidal part. The plane which runs over the longitudinal edges of the mirror layer has a distance H from the balloon axis. This level is within 0.04 D to 0.11 D of the max. Inside diameter D of the balloon. The burner is arranged in the longitudinal plane of symmetry. In the cross-section which extends over the ellipsoidal center of the balloon, the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis and the nearest surface of the mirror layer to the distance L between the burner axis and the edge of the mirror layer, which is in longitudinal section, is about 0.56 to 0.68. At least one power connection is disposed between the burner and the mirror layer in the longitudinal plane of symmetry.

Weitere zweckmäßige und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe gehen aus den Unteransprüchen hervor.Further expedient and advantageous embodiments of the gas discharge mirror lamp will be apparent from the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Der Brenner 1 der Gasentladungs-Spiegellampe ist an den Stromanschlüssen 3 und 4 in dem Ellipsoid-Ballon 2 angeschlossen, wie Fig. 1 zeigt. Der Ellipsoid-Ballon 2 ist durch den Hals 9 und die Kugel 12 begrenzt. Der Ballon 2 ist mit einer Spiegelschicht 5 (in der Fig. 1 schraffiert dargestellt) mit den Längskanten 6 und 7 bedeckt. Die Querkanten (11) der Spiegelschicht 5 liegen in den Querschnitten der Übergangsstelle vom Ellipsoid des Ballons 2 zum Hals (9) und in der Übergangsstelle zum Ellipsoidteil 12 und sind mit einer Strichlinie gekennzeichnet.The burner 1 of the gas discharge mirror lamp is connected to the power terminals 3 and 4 in the ellipsoidal balloon 2, such as Fig. 1 shows. The ellipsoidal balloon 2 is bounded by the neck 9 and the ball 12. The balloon 2 is provided with a mirror layer 5 (in the Fig. 1 hatched) covered with the longitudinal edges 6 and 7. The transverse edges (11) of the mirror layer 5 lie in the cross sections of the transition point from the ellipsoid of the balloon 2 to the neck (9) and in the transition point to the ellipsoidal part 12 and are marked with a dashed line.

In Fig. 2 ist der Querschnitt A-A der Lampe nach Fig. 1 abgebildet. Der Querschnitt verläuft über den Mittelpunkt des Ballonellipsoids. Der Ballon 2 ist mit der Spiegelschicht 5 versehen. Die Ebene über die Längskanten 6 und 7 der Spiegelschicht 5 weist einen Abstand H von der Ballonachse 10 auf und liegt innerhalb von 0,04 D bis 0,11 D (D = max. Ballondurchmesser). Der Brenner 1 ist so angeordnet, dass das Verhältnis des Abstands I zwischen der Brennerachse 8 und der nächstliegenden Oberfläche der Spiegelschicht 5 zum Abstand L zwischen der Brennerachse 8 und der Kante der Spiegelschicht 5, die im Längsschnitt angeordnet ist, ca. 0,58 bis 0,68 beträgt. Die Pfeile geben die einfallenden und die abgespiegelten Strahlen an.In Fig. 2 is the cross section AA of the lamp after Fig. 1 displayed. The cross section extends over the center of the balloon ellipsoid. The balloon 2 is provided with the mirror layer 5. The plane across the longitudinal edges 6 and 7 of the mirror layer 5 has a distance H from the balloon axis 10 and is within 0.04 D to 0.11 D (D = maximum balloon diameter). The burner 1 is arranged so that the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis 8 and the nearest Surface of the mirror layer 5 to the distance L between the burner axis 8 and the edge of the mirror layer 5, which is arranged in longitudinal section, is about 0.58 to 0.68. The arrows indicate the incident and the reflected rays.

Wenn die Querkante (11) der Spiegelschicht 5 näher zum Hals (9) angeordnet ist (in Bezug auf die markierte Übergangslinie Ballonhals-Ellipsoid), dann ist beim Betrieb der Lampe eine Temperaturerhöhung am Lampensockel zu beobachten. Das beeinträchtigt den Sockelkitt und das Lot, da ein Teil der Strahlung nach den Rückstrahlungen von der Spiegelschicht 5 in den Hals (9) auf den Sockel einfällt.If the transverse edge (11) of the mirror layer 5 is arranged closer to the neck (9) (with respect to the marked transition line balloon neck ellipsoid), then an increase in temperature at the lamp base is observed during operation of the lamp. This affects the base putty and the solder since part of the radiation, after the reflections from the mirror layer 5, enters the neck (9) on the base.

Wenn die Querkanten der Spiegelschicht 5 näher zum Brenner 1 angeordnet sind (in Bezug auf die markierten Übergangslinien Ballonhals-Ellipsoid und Ballonkuppel-Ellipsoid), ist eine Minderung des Lichtstroms zu beobachten, da ein Teil der Nutzstrahlung in die obere Hemisphäre abgeht. Somit ist der Lichtstrom der Lampe beschränkt.If the transverse edges of the mirror layer 5 are arranged closer to the burner 1 (with respect to the marked transition lines balloon neck ellipsoid and balloon dome ellipsoid), a reduction of the luminous flux is observed, since a part of the useful radiation in the upper hemisphere. Thus, the luminous flux of the lamp is limited.

Wenn die Querkante der Spiegelschicht 5 näher zur Kuppel 12 angeordnet ist (in Bezug auf die markierte Übergangsstelle Ballonhals-Ellipsoid), ist ein gezwungener Kontakt zwischen dem Stromanschluss 4 und der Spiegelschicht 5 zu beobachten. Dabei ist rings um den laufenden Brenner 1 ein elektrisches Feld gebildet, welches die Lebensdauer der Lampe wesentlich reduziert. Ansonsten verursacht die Implementierung von einer isolierten Strecke des Stromanschlusses 4 neben der Spiegelfläche 5 eine wesentliche Verteuerung der Lampe.When the transverse edge of the mirror layer 5 is located closer to the dome 12 (with respect to the marked transition point balloon neck ellipsoid), forced contact between the power connector 4 and the mirror layer 5 is observed. In this case, an electric field is formed around the current burner 1, which substantially reduces the life of the lamp. Otherwise, the implementation of an isolated path of the power connector 4 adjacent to the mirror surface 5 causes a significant increase in the cost of the lamp.

Wenn die Ebene über die Längskanten 6 und 7 der Spiegelschicht 5 in einem Abstand 0,04 D (max. Ballondurchmesser) von der Ballonsachse 10 angeordnet ist, wird die Möglichkeit der Fertigung von Lampen mit unterschiedlichen Lichtstärkekurven sowie der Sicherstellung eines erforderlichen Schutzwinkels begrenzt.When the plane is arranged over the longitudinal edges 6 and 7 of the mirror layer 5 at a distance 0.04 D (maximum balloon diameter) from the balloon axis 10, the possibility of manufacturing lamps with different light intensity curves as well as ensuring a required protection angle is limited.

Wenn die Ebene über die Längskanten 6 und 7 der Spiegelschicht 5 in einem Abstand von mehr als 0,11 D (max. Ballondurchmesser) von der Ballonsachse 10 angeordnet ist, ist der Strahlungsanteil nach den mehrfachen Rückspiegelungen erhöht und der Lichtstrom der Lampe nimmt ab.When the plane is located above the longitudinal edges 6 and 7 of the mirror layer 5 at a distance greater than 0.11 D (maximum balloon diameter) from the balloon axis 10, the proportion of radiation after the multiple back reflections is increased and the luminous flux of the lamp decreases.

Wenn der Brenner so angeordnet ist, dass das Verhältnis des Abstands I zwischen der Brennerachse 8 und der nächstliegenden Oberfläche der Spiegelschicht 5 zum Abstand L zwischen der Brennerachse 8 und der Kante der Spiegelschicht 5, welche im Längsschnitt liegt, weniger als 0,56 beträgt, ist der Anteil der durch die Spiegelschicht 5 rückgespiegelten Strahlung zu hoch. Das verursacht eine Überhitzung des Brenners 1.If the burner is arranged so that the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis 8 and the nearest surface of the mirror layer 5 to the distance L between the burner axis 8 and the edge of the mirror layer 5, which is in longitudinal section, is less than 0.56, the proportion of the radiation reflected by the mirror layer 5 is too high. This causes overheating of the burner 1.

Wenn der Brenner so angeordnet ist, dass im Querschnitt, welcher über den Ellipsoid-Mittelpunkt des Ballons 2 verläuft, das Verhältnis des Abstands I zwischen der Brennerachse 8 und der nächstliegenden Oberfläche der Spiegelschicht 5 zum Abstand L zwischen der Brennerachse 8 und der Kante der Spiegelschicht 5, welche im Längsschnitt liegt, weniger als 0,56 beträgt, ist der negative Einfluss der Spiegelschicht 5 auf den Brenner 1 zu hoch.If the burner is arranged so that in cross section, which extends over the ellipsoid center of the balloon 2, the ratio of the distance I between the burner axis 8 and the nearest surface of the mirror layer 5 to the distance L between the burner axis 8 and the edge of the mirror layer 5, which is in longitudinal section, is less than 0.56, the negative influence of the mirror layer 5 on the burner 1 is too high.

Wenn mindestens ein Draht-Stromanschluss zwischen dem Brenner 1 und der Spiegelschicht 5 in der längsgerichteten Symmetrieebene angeordnet ist, nimmt die Menge der rückgespiegelten Strahlen, welche von der Spiegelschicht 5 auf den Brenner 1 einfallen, ab.When at least one wire power connection is arranged between the burner 1 and the mirror layer 5 in the longitudinal plane of symmetry, the amount of reflected-back rays incident on the burner 1 from the mirror layer 5 decreases.

Die Lampen werden folgenderweise zusammengebaut. Die Spiegelschicht 5 wird auf den Ballon 2 aufgetragen. Dabei werden die Ballonbereiche, welche die Spiegelschicht 5 abgrenzen, mittels Schirme abgedeckt. Die Stromanschlüsse 3 und 4 werden geformt und der Brenner 1 wird angeschlossen. Der Fuß mit den Stromanschlüssen 3 und 4 wird in den Ballon 2 hineingeschweißt. Dabei wird der Brenner 1 an einer genau festgelegten Stelle in Bezug auf die Spiegelschicht 5 angeordnet. Danach wird der Sockel an die Lampe angeschlossen.The lamps are configured in the following way. The mirror layer 5 is applied to the balloon 2. The balloon areas, which delimit the mirror layer 5, are covered by umbrellas. The power connections 3 and 4 are formed and the burner 1 is connected. The foot with the power terminals 3 and 4 is welded into the balloon 2. In this case, the burner 1 is arranged at a precisely defined position with respect to the mirror layer 5. Then the socket is connected to the lamp.

Die Funktionsweise der Lampe ist wie folgt:The operation of the lamp is as follows:

Die Lichtstrahlen treten aus dem Mittelpunkt des Brenners 1 aus und passieren in die Richtung der Spiegelschicht 5 an der Innenoberfläche des Ballons 2. Die Einfallslote zur Spiegelfläche 5 sind meistens an der Brennerachse 8 vorbei gerichtet. Dadurch passiert der Hauptteil der rückgespiegelten Strahlen am Brenner 1 vorbei und wird somit im Brenner 1 nicht abgeschwächt.The light rays exit from the center of the burner 1 and pass in the direction of the mirror layer 5 on the inner surface of the balloon 2. The incident solders to the mirror surface 5 are mostly directed to the burner axis 8 over. As a result, the main part of the reflected-back beams passes the burner 1 and is thus not attenuated in the burner 1.

Die Lichtstrahlen, welche aus dem Brenner 1 in Richtung Ballonoberfläche ohne Spiegelschicht 5 austreten, werden bei ihrem Austritt aus der Lampe nicht rückgespiegelt.The light rays, which emerge from the burner 1 in the direction of the balloon surface without mirror layer 5, are not reflected back on their exit from the lamp.

Wenn die Einfallslote zur Spiegelfläche 5 auf den Brenner 1 gerichtet sind, fällt der Strahl auf den Brenner 1 ein. Mindestens ein Stromanschluss 3 ist zwischen dem Brenner 1 und der Spiegelschicht 5 in der längsgerichteten Symmetrieebene angeordnet. Dadurch fallen möglichst wenig rückgespiegelte Strahlen auf den Brenner 1 ein.When the incident solders are directed to the mirror surface 5 on the burner 1, the beam is incident on the burner 1. At least one power connection 3 is arranged between the burner 1 and the mirror layer 5 in the longitudinal plane of symmetry. As a result, as little as possible reflected back rays fall on the burner 1.

Die vorgeschlagene Lampe mit einem Brenner 1 mit einer Natrium-Bogenlampe (DNaT) mit einer Leistung von 250 W ist in einen Ellipsoid-Ballon 2 mit einem Durchmesser D von 120 mm eingebaut. Die Brennerachse 8 ist in Bezug auf die Lampenachse 10 um 19 mm versetzt. Die Querkanten 6 und 7 der Spiegelfläche 5 sind mit 8 mm Abstand von der Balonsachse 10 ausgeführt. Die Lichtausbeute der Achse beträgt 104 Lumen/W. Die Lichtstärkekurven dieser Lampe sowohl in der Längs- als auch in der Querrichtung sind den gängigen Strahlern OT 400-POP-DNaT mit Folienreflektionsflächen (POP) USchZT-15-400-POP I (C) (

(C)) ähnlich.The proposed lamp with a burner 1 with a sodium arc lamp (DNaT) with a power of 250 W is installed in an ellipsoid balloon 2 with a diameter D of 120 mm. The burner axis 8 is offset with respect to the lamp axis 10 by 19 mm. The transverse edges 6 and 7 of the mirror surface 5 are designed with 8 mm distance from the Balonsachse 10. The light output of the axis is 104 lumens / W. The luminous intensity curves of this lamp both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction are common to the radiators OT 400-POP-DNaT with foil reflection surfaces (POP) USchZT-15-400-POP I (C) (

(C)) similar.

Die vorgeschlagene Lampe ermöglicht, die installierte Leistung abzusetzen und den Stromverbrauch um das 1,5 bis 1,8-fache zu reduzieren sowie die Pflanzenproduktivität um mehr als 15 % zu erhöhen.The proposed lamp makes it possible to reduce installed power and reduce power consumption by 1.5 to 1.8 times, and to increase plant productivity by more than 15%.

Die Anwendung der Erfindung bei der Herstellung von Natrium-Spiegellampen wird ermöglicht, die Herstellkosten zu senken und eine hohe Lichtausbeute zu erhalten. Bei einem Lampenpreis von 210 Rubel/Stück und bei einer Jahresproduktion von 200.000 Stück wird dadurch ein wirtschaftlicher Effekt in einer Höhe von 1.200.000 Rubel erreicht.The application of the invention in the production of sodium mirror lamps is made possible to reduce the production costs and to obtain a high luminous efficacy. With a lamp price of 210 rubles / piece and an annual production of 200,000 pieces, this will result in an economic effect of 1,200,000 rubles.
