A thermal dosage indicator for an electric lamp provides real time indication of time and temperature exposure of the lamp. In one version, a coating on a designated portion of the lamp changes color upon exposure to different combinations of time and temperature. In another version, a semiconductor is mounted on the surface at a designated location on the lamp and the electrical properties of the semi conductor monitored to give an indication of thermal dosage exposure. In another version, a carbon cell of predetermined dimension is mounted on the lamp surface and is monitored at specified intervals to determine dimensional changes from thermal sublimation to give an indication of thermal dosage.
