CREVICE-MINIMIZED METAL HALIDE BURNER WITH CERAMIC DISCHARGE VESSEL

摘要

The present invention relates to a metal halide burner with ceramic discharge vessel, a lamp with said burner, and a method for manufacturing said burner with one discharge vessel having two end parts (2a, 2b) each with one end opening (3a, 3b), a filling (8), two end closure constructions (4a, 4b) for closing said end openings (3a, 3b), and crevices (7a, 7b) between the end openings (3a, 3b) and the end closure constructions (4a, 4b), wherein the first end closure construction (4a) differs from said second end closure construction (4b) in at least shape, type of material of the components and/or arrangement of components; and/or the shape of said first crevice (7a) differs from the shape of said second crevice (7b); and/or the first end part (2a) differs from the second end part (2b) in shape, type of material of one component, and/or the arrangement of components; so that an asymmetric ceramic metal halide burner is achieved.
