An infrared irradiation lamp having a lamp housing S formed by a Lamp body 12 and a front lens 14, a reflector 16 provided in the lamp body 12, a bulb 20 inserted and attached into a bulb insertion attachment hole 13 of the reflector 16 and provided ahead of the reflector 16, and a cylindrical globe 30 for infrared light formation which is provided to cover the bulb 20 and serves to shield a visible light and to transmit only an infrared light, wherein a metallic bulb holder 60 having a radiation fin 68 extended to the back of the reflector 16 is provided between the bulb insertion attachment hole 13 and a mouth piece 21 of the bulb 20. Heat generated by turning on the bulb 20 is transferred to the bulb holder 60 and is radiated from the radiation fin 68 provided on the back of the reflector 16 to a space provided on the back of the reflector 16 so that the inside of the globe 30 is not filled with the heat. Thus, it is possible to avoid various problems caused by an increase in the temperatures of the bulb 20 and the globe 30 for infrared light formation.
An infrared irradiation lamp for an automobile comprising a lamp housing formed by a lamp body and a front lens, a reflector provided in the lamp body, a light source provided ahead of the reflector in the lamp housing, and a cylindrical globe for infrared light formation which is provided to cover the light source and serves to shield a visible light and to transmit only an infrared light,
An infrared irradiation lamp for an automobile comprising a lamp housing formed by a lamp body and a front lens, a reflector provided in the lamp body, a bulb to be a light source inserted and attached into a bulb insertion attachment hole of the reflector and provided ahead of the reflector, and a cylindrical globe for infrared light formation which is provided to cover the bulb and serves to shield a visible light and to transmit only an infrared light,
The infrared irradiation lamp for an automobile according to 5, wherein the globe for infrared light formation is fixed to the reflector through a metallic globe holder provided in contact with an extended portion on a front end side of the bulb holding member.
The infrared irradiation lamp for an automobile according to 6, wherein the globe for infrared light formation is fixed to the reflector through a metallic globe holder provided in contact with an extended portion on a front end side of the bulb holding member.
