METAL ARC DIRECTOR FOR COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMP

摘要

Compact fluorescent lamps employ metal arc director means fabricated by forming a base member from electrically conductive material and providing apertures therein. An arc director is formed from electrically conductive material and can be in the shape of a rectangular dish. The base member and the arc director are degreased and vacuum fired at about 800.degree.C for about one hour to degas them. The arc director is then affixed to the base member to form the arc directing means which is then refired in a vacuum for about two hours at about 1000.degree.C for further degassing.
