Halogen incandescent lamp for a vehicle headlight
View Patent ↗An incandescent halogen lamp for vehicle headlights may include a lamp base which defines a reference plane for orienting the incandescent halogen lamp in the vehicle headlight and includes a holder part having a substantially rotationally symmetrical external contour for holding a translucent lamp vessel, with the holder part having a first holder-part section connected to a component of the lamp base and a second holder-part section from which the translucent lamp vessel projects, wherein the second holder-part section has a smaller external diameter than the first holder-part section and wherein the height of the lamp base above the reference plane is in the 11.5-to-16.6-mm range.
1. An incandescent halogen lamp for vehicle headlights, the incandescent halogen lamp comprising:
a lamp base which defines a reference plane for orienting the incandescent halogen lamp in the vehicle headlight and includes a holder part having a substantially rotationally symmetrical external contour for holding a translucent lamp vessel, with the holder part having a first holder-part section connected to a component of the lamp base and a second holder-part section from which the translucent lamp vessel projects,
wherein the second holder-part section has a smaller external diameter than the first holder-part section,
wherein the height of the lamp base above the reference plane is in the 11.5-to-16.6 mm range,
wherein said translucent lamp vessel has a cylindrical lamp-vessel section that surrounds at least one filament and is closed at one end by a lamp vessel seal out of which electrical supply leads for the at least one filament are led and at the other end by a lamp-vessel dome, and
wherein a length of said cylindrical lamp-vessel is less than or equal to 18 mm.
2. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the height of the lamp base above the reference plane is in the 12-to-16.6 mm range.
3. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the height of the lamp base above the reference plane is in the 13 to 16 mm range.
4. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first holder-part section is embodied as cylindrical and the other holder-part section is embodied in the manner of a truncated cone.
5. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second holder-part section each is embodied as cylindrical or in the manner of a truncated cone.
6. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the distance between the at least one filament and the reference plane is in the range of 25.0 mm±0.1 mm.
7. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an external diameter of the cylindrical lamp-vessel section is in the 9-to-10-mm range.
8. The incandescent halogen lamp as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lamp vessel is made of tempered glass.
