A high temperature tungsten halogen lamp having improved lamp strength so as to reduce lamp breakage. The ceramic base for supporting the press sealed end of the lamp's envelope has a top thereof including a pair of upwardly projecting members that extend above the press sealed portion to contact the bulb portion of the lamp envelope (or capsule). These corner projecting members enable enhanced support while at the same time providing a pair of windows therebetween to enable sufficient heat dissipation (thus preventing excessively high lamp seal temperatures). In accordance with the method of the invention the envelope is cemented to the ceramic base in a two-step operation including firstly cementing the base below the projecting members to bind the base to the envelope's press sealed portion and thereafter cementing the projecting members to the envelope's bulb portion.

A multi-planar, one-piece wire insert for supporting a coil filament body in an electric incadescent lamp in which the wire insert includes a top leg disposed in a plane out of the main plane of the insert so as to permit the coil filament body, as wound, to fit (match) the insert directly without requiring alteration to the ends of the coil filament body and/or changing of the wound coil geometry.

A small volume, high wattage press sealed lamp having envelope, filament, internal leads, seal foils, external leads, and blades is disclosed. The small volume, high wattage press sealed lamp increased conductivity due to a flat faced external lead forming one of the foil welds. The external lead is butt welded to blade stock at ninety degrees forming a highly conductive bond.

An improved projector lamp with an internal reflector may be made by forming the reflector from pure aluminum, or an aluminum alloy not including amounts of vaporizable materials. Anodized aluminum is not used. A pure aluminum reflector is mechanically polished and chemically etched to attain a high level of reflectivity. The quality of the surface finish is retained by enclosing the reflector in an oxygen free lamp. The high purity aluminum acts as a getter for oxygen, and other detrimental contaminants, thereby tending to extend the lamp life and maintain lamp output. Since aluminum is lighter weight than the previous reflector materials, the lamps do not suffer as much breakage during manufacture and shipping.

A lamp with re-enforced tubular base pins is disclosed. A less expensive, high quality, high wattage lamp may be formed with re-enforced tubular base pins. The lamp comprises a lamp envelope having an enclosed means for producing light, a light transmissive envelope, and at least two electrical connections, a ceramic lamp base for holding the lamp envelope, and the two tubular pins. Each pin comprises an electrically conductive tube having an exterior surface along which a compressive coupling may be made, and an interior surface defining an internal volume. A fill cement is positioned in the internal volume of each base pin at least along the portions opposite where compressive coupling may be made to the exterior surface of the pin.

A spot lamp having a lens in the form of a curved member having an inner surface with a series of radially disposed flutes formed therein defining a fluted portion which surrounds a centrally disposed stippled portion. The flutes each extend linearly from a position adjacent the stippled portion outwardly to a position adjacent the outer edge of the curved member. The surfaces of the flutes are also stippled.

A flood lamp having a lens with a series of concentrically disposed fluted rings on the internal lens surface in combination with an outer concentric ring adjacent to and wider than any one of the fluted rings and containing a plurality of semi-spherical protrusions disposed in an established pattern (e. g. , circular or hexagonal). The flood lamp reflector has multiple reflective surfaces including a front section that is parabolic shape having a principle focal point, a spherical section having its center of radius coincident with the principle focal point of the parabolic front section, and a spherical rear section.
