Abstract
An electrodeless lamp is disclosed. The electrodeless lamp according to the present invention is characterized in that SnI2 is used as a major component filled into a bulb as a filler, and the filler is excited by applying a microwave or high frequency to the bulb for thereby generating a visual ray for thereby obtaining a certain color temperature proper as a light source and implementing a faster light emission start-up at a lower cost without an additive.
Claims17
An electrodeless lamp which is characterized in that SnI2 is used as a major component filled into a bulb as a filler, and an assistant material is additionally filled into the bulb, wherein the assistant material is at least one of sulfur, selenium, tellurium or metal halide material, the filler being substantially free of mercury, and the filler is excited by applying a microwave or high frequency energy to the bulb for thereby generating visible light.
An electrodeless lamp which is characterized in that SnI2 is filled as a major component into a bulb as a filler, an inert gas is added as an assistant gas, and sulfur, selenium, tellurium or metal halide material is added as an assistant material, the filler being substantially free of mercury, and the filler is excited by applying microwave or high frequency energy to the bulb for thereby generating a visible light, wherein the inert gas is Ar or Xe.
