Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a metal halide lamp with long lifetime, high color rendering property, and good lamp efficiency by forming a multi-layer interfering film to reflect part of the visible light on the surface of a transparent cylinder. CONSTITUTION:A metal halide lamp is accomplished in such a constitution that a multi-layer interfering film 3 to reflect part of the visible light is formed on the surface of a transparent cylinder 2. Thereby the visible light in amount depending upon the wavelength is reflected according to the characteristic of the interfering film 3 formed on the surface of the transparent cylinder 2, and thus the chromatic temp. of the light emitted by a lamp will vary. Light with any desired chromatic temp. is obtained by designing the reflex characteristic of multi-layer interfering film 3 for different wavelengths. Part of light energy reflected by this multi-layer interfering film 3 is absorbed in alight emitting tube through multiple reflecting and converted into thermal energy. This gives a higher lamp efficiency than without such a multi-layer interfering film.

Conventional technology Conventionally, metal halide lamps that emit light at a low color temperature similar to the color of a light bulb have been known, using tin, sodium, etc. as luminescent metals and sealing them in the form of iodide or bromide in the arc tube. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in metal halide lamps that use tin as one of the light-emitting metals and have a low color temperature, the low-temperature portion of the electrode structure exposed inside the arc tube loses heat during its life. There is a phenomenon where it becomes thinner and breaks. When we actually manufactured a prototype metal halide lamp that combined tin halide and sodium halide, and conducted a life test, we found that the low temperature part of the electrode structure exposed inside the arc tube was exposed to light during the ladle time. As this phenomenon progresses throughout the life of the lamp, some lamps have their electrode structures broken due to erosion after several thousand hours of operation, resulting in wide variations in lamp life. In metal halide lamps that contain tin halide as one of the light-emitting metals, the electrode structure is more corroded by the halogen than when it does not contain tin, so there is a problem that the electrode structure can break. .

Effect: With this configuration, a different amount of visible light is reflected for each wavelength depending on the characteristics of the multilayer interference film formed on the surface of the light-transmitting part, and the color temperature of the light emitted from the lamp changes.
