Abstract

PURPOSE:To estimate the life of a fluorescent lamp correctly and easily by processing the remaining face of the discolored or colored material region opposite to the lamp-side face so as to prevent or reduce the natural ultraviolet ray transmission. CONSTITUTION:Small pieces of the black or red colored sheet (easily discolored or colored paper) 4 to prevent the effect of ultraviolet rays in the natural light and white sheets (hardly discolored or colored paper) 3, 3' are adjacently fitted to part of a lamp 1, for example. That is, for a fluorescent lamp, for example, the colored sheet 4 is discolored by ultraviolet rays during the lamp lighting and becomes nearly white after a fixed time. Therefore, to what degree the lamp has been lighted can be roughly known by the color difference from the adjacent sheets 3, 3'. The coloring agent of the sheet preventing the effect of ultraviolet rays in the natural light is controlled and selected so that the time when the sheet is discolored to white nearly matches the life time of the lamp, thus if there is no color difference between both sheets, it can be known correctly and easily that the lamp life is almost nearing its end.

The above purpose is to produce colored paper such as black or red (i.e., paper that easily fades or discolors) and white colored paper (i.e., paper that does not easily fade or discolor) to prevent the effects of ultraviolet rays in natural light. ) is attached adjacent to a part of the lamp. For example, in the case of a fluorescent lamp, the color of colored paper fades due to the ultraviolet rays emitted while the lamp is on, and after a certain period of time it becomes almost white. Therefore, it is possible to roughly know to what extent the lamp has been turned on based on the color difference with the adjacent white colored paper. By controlling and selecting the colorant for the colored paper that prevents the effects of ultraviolet rays in natural light, the time it takes for the color to fade to almost white to roughly match the lamp life time, and the color difference between the two colored papers disappears. You can accurately and accurately know that the battery is nearing the end of its lifespan.

The lifespan of germicidal lamps is generally designed to be approximately 3,000 hours, but in the above example, the color of the black colored paper faded as soon as the lamp was turned on, and the color of the colored paper faded in about 2.500 to 3,000 hours. It became difficult to distinguish between the colors ′ and 4. That is, it can be determined from the color difference of the colored paper that the Habo lamp is nearing the end of its life, and it can be determined that the lamp needs to be replaced just before the end of its life.
