| Title: |
PAR Lamp with Short Arc HID Bulb and Cut-Out in Aluminum to Prevent Arcing |
| Abstract: |
A lamp is disclosed that includes a light source that requires high
voltage for starting. A reflector body includes an electrically
conductive reflective surface that is oriented to receive light from the
light source and direct the light in the desired direction. A preselected
surface portion of the reflector body is devoid of the electrically
conductive reflective surface. First and second lead assemblies
associated with the light source, and that supply power thereto, pass
through openings in the reflector body. The lead assemblies are spaced
from the electrically conductive reflective surface portion by the
preselected surface portion that is devoid of the reflective material to
preclude arcing. Asymmetrical lead wire assemblies may also be
advantageously used to increase the electrical standoff.
