Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for lamp moisture management systems include a lamp housing including an inlet vent and an exit vent, a transparent cover plate covering a light exit hole in the lamp housing, and a conduit including a primary air inlet, an air outlet, a narrowed portion disposed between the primary air inlet and the air outlet, and a secondary air inlet disposed at the narrowed portion. The primary air inlet can be configured to receive a first flow of air through the conduit to induce a second flow of air through the lamp housing to evacuate a moist air from the lamp housing. Methods, systems, and apparatus can further include a fan configured to induce a flow of air through the lamp housing to evacuate a moist air therefrom.
