Conventionally, in order to meet this requirement using the above-mentioned light sources, two or several types of light sources with originally different light colors were separately prepared, and the color temperature or light color was varied by mutual dimming control of these light sources. However, there were problems in that the color mixing properties were insufficient, the overall shape became large, and the control became complicated.

In such a configuration, the transparent conductive film 6 serving as the anode
A relatively high DC voltage V 1 of several hundred V or more is applied between the lead wire 1 which is internally connected to the incandescent filament cathode 4 and the lead wire 2 which is connected to one end of the incandescent filament cathode 4 so that the lead wire 1 becomes the positive electrode. and lead wire 2
When a DC voltage or an AC voltage V 2 of arbitrary polarity is applied between the incandescent filament cathode 4 and the lead wire 3 connected to the other end of the incandescent filament cathode 4 so that the incandescent filament cathode 4 becomes incandescently heated, the incandescent filament cathode 4 Thermionic electrons are emitted and accelerated, excite the phosphor 7 to emit blue light, and the electrons are recovered to the power source via the transparent conductive film 6.

The further you go to the right, the lower the color temperature (reddish white) becomes. now,
The light emitted from the phosphor 7 emits blue light around point A, and the incandescent filament cathode 4 shows light bulb color light around point B (red hot color range), so by mixing the two, a substantially straight line A-B is formed. Finally, we obtain white light emission within the range that connects. Here, if the voltages V 1 and V 2 are changed appropriately, the intensity of each original light emission will also change, so A-
Any light color between B is possible. Even if one voltage is fixed and only the other voltage is changed, it can be similarly varied to some extent. Further, the phosphor 7 may be coated with a phosphor having an arbitrary light color to change the light color.

In addition, there is a translucent envelope with a vacuum-tight interior and a phosphor coated on the inner surface, a thermion-emitting incandescent filament cathode installed inside the envelope, and an anode formed on the inner surface of the envelope. and a control means for varying the color temperature of the final white light by controlling the voltage between the anode and the incandescent filament cathode, or the voltage applied to the incandescent filament cathode, or both. By changing the emitted light color of the filament cathode and phosphor, the emitted color mixed by these can be freely varied. Therefore, it is possible to uniformly change the color temperature and light color with one light source. Furthermore, although two power supplies are used in the control means, there is no need for a so-called ballast for current control, and the lighting system has the advantage of being compact and simple.
