  • the invention relates to a lamp with a stimulable by microwaves light source and a surrounding housing, which has at least one light exit opening.
  • a lamp is also referred to as a microwave lamp and corresponds to a particular form of a gas discharge lamp.
  • the corresponding energy supply for exciting the phosphor is in the form of microwave radiation.
  • Such a luminaire usually comprises a quartz bulb, in which a noble gas is filled at low pressure.
  • the quartz bulb is coated with metal halide salts.
  • the corresponding microwave radiation is provided by a microwave generator or magnetron and generates a plasma by ionizing the corresponding inert gas filling. This plasma leads to evaporation of the corresponding metal-halide salt and through both together there is a corresponding light emission. Furthermore, influence on the emitted light spectrum by doping the coating are possible.
  • the invention has for its object to dispense with appropriate light guide or the like and to be able to decouple light from a corresponding luminaire housing cost and easily.
  • the corresponding Lichtaus- outlet opening of the lamp housing is assigned as a microwave shielding a labyrinth structure, which labyrinth structure is formed as a labyrinth plate with a plurality of extending obliquely to the light exit direction labyrinth passages.
  • a lattice or labyrinth structure in front of the light exit opening prevents that, apart from the desired light, no other radiation leaves the luminaire housing.
  • the luminaire housing is made of a metal manufactured, so that a corresponding microwave shield is only to be additionally arranged in the region of the light exit opening.
  • microwave shielding no additional coupling for light from the lamp housing is necessary.
  • conventional devices can be used within the luminaire housing for light deflection and deflection in the direction of the light exit opening, wherein only in the region of the light exit opening a corresponding shielding against microwave radiation takes place, in particular with regard to EMC.
  • a corresponding grid or labyrinth structure is easy to arrange and inexpensive to produce.
  • an adaptation to the shape and size of the light exit opening can be carried out in a simple manner.
  • the light exit opening of a corresponding lamp housing is closed by a light-transparent cover, such as a glass or quartz plate.
  • a light-transparent cover such as a glass or quartz plate.
  • Lattice and labyrinth structure impede only slightly or not at all a corresponding passage of the light radiation, while, however, given a secure microwave shielding.
  • this is formed from a perforated grid plate, in particular metal grid plate.
  • a perforated grid plate in particular metal grid plate.
  • the grid plate may have a row and column arrangement of holes.
  • the shape and size of the holes varies in accordance with the row or column direction. In a simple example, however, it is also possible that all holes have the same shape and the same diameter and are in particular circular holes.
  • a microwave radiation of approximately 2.45 GHz is used, which can generate a plasma between the associated microwave antennas.
  • the hole size should be much smaller than the corresponding wavelength of the radiation. That is, the hole diameter would be a lot smaller than 12 cm, which corresponds to a wavelength of the microwave radiation of 2.45 GHz.
  • a corresponding grid plate with such a hole structure it is furthermore designed as an edge filter or blocking filter, so that shielding is ensured for longer wavelengths, in particular in the area of the microwave radiation used.
  • the labyrinth structure according to the invention is designed as a labyrinth plate, in particular metal plate, with a multiplicity of labyrinth passages running at an angle to the light exit direction.
  • the walls of the labyrinth passages may be reflective of light radiation so that they can exit through the labyrinth passages in the direction of the light exit opening.
  • the labyrinth passages are formed corresponding to the holes with a corresponding diameter which prevents passage of microwave radiation.
  • the labyrinth passages may have a length which varies outwardly from a central central axis and in particular increases in length.
  • the central central axis is an axis of symmetry for the labyrinth passages, i. H. that the labyrinth plate is formed symmetrically with corresponding labyrinth passages above and below this symmetry axis.
  • the rest of the construction of the luminaire or of the luminaire housing can take place as with other gas discharge lamps.
  • the light source can be assigned a light reflection device for deflecting light radiation emitted by the light source substantially in the direction of the light exit opening.
  • Such a light reflection device may be formed as a parabolic mirror or the like.
  • a simple assignment of the lattice or labyrinth plate to the light exit opening may result if grid or labyrinth plate is arranged on a rear side of the light-transparent cover facing the light source.
  • lattice and labyrinth plate are arranged interchangeable, not only an exchange of each grid plates and labyrinth plates can be done with each other, but also an exchange of a grid plate against a labyrinth plate and vice versa can take place.
  • FIG. 1 a longitudinal section through a first of a lamp 1 is shown.
  • This has a rectangular-shaped housing 4 in principle. This is shown only as an example and other forms of the lamp housing are also possible.
  • a microwave generator 3 is arranged in the form of a magnetron. This feeds microwave energy to corresponding antennas which are arranged inside a light source 2 with a corresponding quartz bulb or the like.
  • a plasma of a corresponding noble gas is generated by the microwave radiation between the antennas, resulting in evaporation of metal halide salt applied to the glass or quartz glass bulb leads and generated from the noble gas plasma and the metal halide salt vapor light in a corresponding spectral range.
  • the light source 2 is partially surrounded by a light reflection device 18 in the form of, for example, a parabolic mirror. This directs light emitted by the light source 2 in the direction of a light exit opening 5 of the luminaire housing 4.
  • the luminaire housing 4 is generally formed from a metal which represents a shield with respect to the microwave radiation.
  • the light exit opening 5 is associated with a grid structure 6, which forms a corresponding microwave shield in the region of the light exit opening.
  • the lattice structure 6 is arranged on a rear side 19 of a light-transparent cover 9 in the form of a glass or quartz plate 10.
  • Light transparent cover 9 and grid structure 6 are arranged in a detachable end portion 22 of the lamp housing 4.
  • the grating structure 6 is arranged in the light exit direction 20 in front of the light transparent cover 9, d. H. on whose in the direction of the light source 2 facing back 19th
  • the light exit opening is completely covered by the light transparent cover 9, wherein the corresponding grid structure 6 has analogous dimensions.
  • FIG. 1 exemplified two light beams 21, which correspond to the maximum exit angle of light radiation from the light exit opening 5 of the lamp housing 4 substantially.
  • the grid structure 6 is formed as a grid plate 11 with a plurality of holes 12. These are, see also the FIGS. 2 and 3 arranged in rows and columns and each have the same shapes and the same diameter.
  • the diameter of the corresponding holes 12 is considerably smaller compared to the wavelength of the microwave radiation, for example, a microwave radiation of 2.45 GHz with a wavelength of about 12 cm is usable.
  • the corresponding holes 12 only slightly obstruct an exit of the light beams 21, while the grating structure 6 forms a safe microwave shielding for the microwave radiation.
  • the grid plate 11 is formed from a simple to produce and inexpensive perforated metal plate, in a simple manner to appropriate sizes of the light exit opening or the light transparent cover 9 is customizable.
  • Corresponding grid plates 11, as well as the further below-mentioned labyrinth plates 13 are not only in the substantially square shape to FIGS. 2, 3 . 5 and 6 but can be produced in the form of virtually any light exit opening with a corresponding light-transparent cover 9.
  • the grid structure 6 in the form of the grid plate 11 is shown in front view and in an oblique view from the front.
  • the columns and rows arrangement of the corresponding holes 12 can be seen.
  • the corresponding holes 12 may be formed only partially, see FIG. 2 the holes along the upper and lower edges of the grid plate eleventh

  • FIG. 4 an embodiment of a lamp 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • the microwave generator 3 is not shown for simplicity.
  • the structure of the corresponding lamp 1 corresponds to the FIG. 1 except for the use of a labyrinth structure 7 as a microwave shield instead of the grid structure 6.
  • a labyrinth structure 7 as a microwave shield instead of the grid structure 6.
  • FIG. 4 a plurality of light beams 21 are shown, which pass through the labyrinth structure 7 in the form of a labyrinth plate 13.
  • the labyrinth plate 13 has a plurality of labyrinth passages 14. These run obliquely outward relative to the light exit direction 20.
  • the labyrinth plate 13 is disposed on the corresponding rear side 19 of the light transparent cover 9, which covers the light exit opening 5 of the lamp housing.
  • the corresponding labyrinth passages 14 have on the exit side of the labyrinth plate 13 has an approximately rectangular cross-section, see FIG. 5 while extending in the direction of the light source 2 obliquely inward toward a central axis 15.
