Light Bulb Comprising An Illumination Body That Contains Carbide

摘要

The invention relates to a light bulb ( 1 ) comprising an illumination body ( 7 ), which is inserted, together with a filler material, into a bulb ( 2 ) in a vacuum-tight manner. The illumination body ( 7 ) has a metal carbide, whose melting point lies above that of tungsten. The current supply ( 10 ) is configured in two parts from a first section ( 6 ) and a second section ( 15 ). The first section is configured integrally with the illumination body ( 7 ) and consists of a wire and the second section, which functions as the actual current supply ( 15 ) is produced from a highly heat-resistant material.
