The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a linear LED light source, comprising: providing a tubular glass envelope that is open at its proximal end and its distal end; inserting a light source mount assembly comprising one or more LED units into the tubular glass envelope; forming a distal hermetic seal at the distal end such that a distal opening remains at the distal end; forming a proximal hermetic seal at the proximal end such that a proximal opening remains at the proximal end; filling the tubular glass envelope with a gas filling; and sealing the distal and proximal openings to obtain a sealed lamp envelope; wherein a flow of coolant gas through the tubular glass envelope is maintained during the formation of the proximal hermetic seal and/or distal hermetic seal if the light source mount assembly is inserted before the formation of the respective hermetic seal.

Linear LED light source and manufacturing method

A lamp having a longitudinal axis, comprising of a burner pinched at one end and a cement less base holding the contact points protruding from the burner. At least one end of the burner is sealed and aligned at the centre of the base in an upright direction following the lamp axis by means of a spring clip, which is mounted from the side of the pinch of the burner and does not interfere with the lead wires.
