There is herein described a lamp having a light-transmissive envelope, a tungsten-halogen capsule and a coating disposed on the surface of the light-transmissive envelope or doped in the light-transmissive material. The light-transmissive envelope may comprise a light-transmissive material. The tungsten-halogen capsule can be positioned inside the light-transmissive envelope.

Modified spectrum incandescent lamp

Electric lamp

Disclosed is a yellow incandescent bugfoiler pigment coating comprising a fine-ground blend of praseodymium doped zirconium silicate and silica. This cadmium-free blend is applied electrostatically in three coats to the interior of a bulb to diffuse the light and block the emitted UV wavelengths. The color of the blend will intensify with increasing heat and return to its initial yellow color upon cooling.

Incandescent bug lamp with cadmium-free powder coating

Disclosed is a method for applying a yellow incandescent bugfoiler pigment coating comprising a fine-ground blend of praseodymium doped zirconium silicate and silica. This cadmium-free blend is preferably applied electrostatically in three coats to the interior of a bulb to diffuse the light and block the emitted UV wavelengths. The color of the blend will intensify with increasing heat and return to it's initial yellow color upon cooling.
