Abstract
An incandescent electric lamp having a filament which incandesces and produces a vapor of the metal of the filament which normally deposits on the wall. A coating is placed on the filament wall where the majority of the vapor would normally deposit to act as a reflecting coating so that the visible energy reflected from the coating will be transmitted through a portion of the wall which is not blackened by the vapor. The coating thickness is adjusted so that the deposit from the filament builds up on a nodal surface so that light absorption is small.
