More Information
Summary:ELECTRIC DISCHARGE LAMP WITH THERMAL SWITCH An electric discharge lamp has an arc tube within an outer gas filled glass envelope and a thermal switching means is located within the outer envelope. The thermal switching means has a silica support with a pair of electrical conductors affixed thereto and a bimetal strip and a spring-like member are affixed to at least one of the electrical conductors, and upon application of heat the bimetal strip and spring-like member are flexed to short-circuit the electrical conductors and remove any D.C. potential between the main electrode and the starting electrode minimizing electrolysis.
