In a glow switch starter comprising an airtight envelope in which a dischargeable gas is contained, and an electrode assembly hermetically sealed in one end of the envelope and having a stem in which a pair of electrodes are set, one or both of which are movable electrodes, a film formed of a mixture of 40% to 90% (by weight) metal barium and 60% to 10% (by weight) metal oxide is deposited on that region of the inner surface of the envelope, which is spaced apart from the stem, at a rate of 0.4 mg to 12.5 mg per cubic centimeter of the envelope capacity.

Glow switch starter having metal oxide deposit

A flourescent lamp, having a vacuum tight radiation transmitting envelope comprising mercury and rare gas, provided with electrodes between which the discharge takes place during operation and a luminescent layer which comprises a mixture of phosphors having different densities wherein the greater the density of the phosphor, the smaller its particle size.

Fluorescent lamp with layer of plural phosphors having different

A fluorescent lamp which comprises a vacuum-tight envelope provided with electrodes between which discharge takes place during the operation of said fluorescent lamp. The envelope is coated on the inside with a phosphor composition layer comprising: a first light-emitting material having an emission spectrum with a peak in the wavelength range between 465 and 490 nm, or preferably between 480 and 490 nm, and a half width ranging from 30 to 120 nm, or preferably from 70 to 100 nm; a second light-emitting material having an emission spectrum with a peak in the wavelength range between 550 and 580 nm, or preferably between 560 and 570 nm, and a smaller half width than 110 nm; a third light-emitting material having an emission spectrum with a peak in the wavelength range between 600 and 620 nm, or preferably between 610 and 620 nm; and a fourth light-emitting material having an emission spectrum with a peak in the wavelength range between 480 and 500 nm, or preferably between 480 and 490 nm, thereby ensuring high luminous flux and satisfactory color rendering.
