Halogen bulb for vehicle headlights
View Patent ↗A halogen bulb for vehicle headlights, comprising at least one filament, which is designed such that it can be used as a light source for generating a low-beam or high-beam and during operation has a lower electric power consumption than the filaments of conventional halogen bulbs used to generate a low-beam or high-beam.
1. A halogen incandescent lamp for vehicle headlights with at least one filament, which is embodied such that it can be used as a light source for generating low beam light or high beam light, said halogen incandescent lamp being embodied as a single-filament halogen incandescent lamp, wherein the filament of the single-filament halogen incandescent lamp is embodied as a coiled filament, the length of which ranges from 4.20 mm to 4.35 mm and the pitch of which ranges from 250 μm to 260 μm and the wire gauge of which ranges from 148.9 μm to 153.1 μm, so that the filament, during its operation at a vehicle on board of nominally 12 volts has an electrical power consumption of less than 50 watts.
2. The halogen incandescent lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the halogen incandescent lamp has krypton in addition to the halogen filling as a filler gas.
3. The halogen incandescent lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the filler gas additionally contains xenon.
4. The halogen incandescent lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the halogen incandescent lamp has a vitreous lamp vessel surrounding the at least one filament with a dome embodied as opaque and light-reflecting.
5. A halogen incandescent lamp for vehicle headlights, said halogen incandescent lamp being embodied as a two-filament incandescent lamp with a filament to generate low beam light and high beam light respectively, wherein the filament to generate low beam light is embodied as a coiled filament, the length of which ranges from 5.4 mm to 5.6 mm and the pitch of which ranges from 265 μm to 285 μm and the wire gauge of which ranges from 159.6 μm to 164.1 μm, so that said filament to generate low beam light, during its operation at a vehicle on board network voltage of nominally 12 volts has an electrical power consumption of less than 50 watts.
6. The halogen incandescent lamp as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the halogen incandescent lamp has krypton in addition to the halogen filling as a filler gas.
7. The halogen incandescent lamp as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the filler gas additionally comprises xenon.
8. The halogen incandescent lamp as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the halogen incandescent lamp has a vitreous lamp vessel surrounding the at least one filament with a dome embodied as opaque and light-reflecting.
