Abstract

In various embodiments, a lamp is provided. The lamp may include two mutually opposite end sections, which each form an electrical contact of the lamp. In each case at least one semiconductor light source is arranged in the region of the end sections. The lamp has an operating apparatus for the semiconductor light sources. The operating apparatus has electrical components, which are arranged in the region of a first section of the lamp, and the operating apparatus has at least one further electrical component, which is arranged in the region of the second end section of the lamp.

Claims (34)

1. A lamp, comprising:

a first end section provided in a first end section region and a second end section provided in a second end section region, wherein the first end section and the second end section are diametrically disposed, each respective end section forming an electrical contact of the lamp, wherein at least one semiconductor light source is arranged in each respective end section region, and wherein the lamp has an operating apparatus for the semiconductor light sources;

wherein the operating apparatus has electrical components arranged in the first end section region of the lamp, and the operating apparatus has at least one further electrical component arranged in the second end section region of the lamp; and

wherein the operating apparatus is a chopper regulator, and the at least one further electrical component of the operating apparatus is at least one inductive component of the chopper regulator.

2. The lamp of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one inductive component is the only electrical component arranged in the second end section region of the lamp.

3. The lamp of claim 1 ,

wherein the lamp has a first printed circuit board arranged in first end section region of the lamp and is populated with the electrical components of the operating apparatus, and has a second printed circuit board arranged in the second end section region of the lamp and is populated with the at least one further electrical component of the operating apparatus.

4. The lamp of claim 3 ,

wherein the first printed circuit board is thermally coupled to the first end section, and the second printed circuit board is thermally coupled to the second end section.

5. The lamp of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one semiconductor light source arranged in the first end section region is fitted on a surface of a first printed circuit board, and the at least one semiconductor light source arranged in the second end section region is fitted on a surface of a second printed circuit board.

6. The lamp of claim 5 ,

wherein the surfaces of the printed circuit boards populated with the semiconductor light sources face one another and are oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the lamp.

7. A lamp, comprising:

a first end section diametrically disposed to a second end section, each respective end section forming an electrical contact of the lamp, wherein at least one semiconductor light source is arranged in each respective end section;

an operating apparatus for the semiconductor light sources, the operating apparatus comprising:

electrical components arranged in a first section of the lamp; and

at least one further electrical component arranged in the second end section of the lamp;

wherein the operating apparatus is a chopper regulator, and the at least one further electrical component of the operating apparatus is at least one inductive component of the chopper regulator;

wherein the at least one inductive component is the only electrical component arranged in the region of the second end section of the lamp.

8. The lamp of claim 7 ,

wherein the lamp has a first printed circuit board arranged in the first end section of the lamp and is populated with the electrical components of the operating apparatus, and has a second printed circuit board arranged in the second end section of the lamp and is populated with the at least one further electrical component of the operating apparatus.

9. The lamp of claim 7 ,

wherein the at least one semiconductor light source arranged in the first end section is fitted on a surface of a first printed circuit board, and the at least one semiconductor light source arranged in the second end section is fitted on a surface of a second printed circuit board.

10. The lamp of claim 9 ,

wherein the surfaces of the printed circuit boards populated with the semiconductor light sources face one another and are oriented perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the lamp.

11. The lamp of claim 8 ,

wherein the first printed circuit board is thermally coupled to the first end section, and the second printed circuit board is thermally coupled to the second end section.

12. A lamp, comprising:

a first end section provided in a first end section region and a second end section provided in a second end section region, wherein the first end section and the second end section are diametrically disposed, each respective end section forming an electrical contact of the lamp, wherein at least one semiconductor light source is arranged in each respective end section region, and wherein the lamp has an operating apparatus for the semiconductor light sources;

wherein the operating apparatus has electrical components arranged in the first end section region of the lamp, and the operating apparatus has at least one further electrical component arranged in the second end section region of the lamp

wherein the operating apparatus is a chopper regulator, and the at least one further electrical component of the operating apparatus is at least one inductive component of the chopper regulator,

wherein the at least one inductive component is the only electrical component arranged in the second end section region of the lamp.
