Patent Searching and Data


Title:
FLUORESCENT LAMP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/062704
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp (10) comprises a light emitting tube (1) having one electrode at each end, and a housing (7) having a holding portion (2) for holding the opposite ends of the light emitting tube (1) and a base portion (3) for supplying power to the electrode. The holding portion is made of a metal and relatively inexpensive. Since the holding portion has sufficient heat resistance, the fluorescent lamp can be miniaturized as compared with conventional ones. Furthermore, the holding portion has a surface subjected to an insulation treatment, and thus the risk of electric shock is reduced. For example, the holding portion is made of aluminum and has a surface subjected to an alumite treatment.
