ELECTRIC LIGHTING BULB BASES "E33", "Edison 33" screw-cap This type of electrical connection (as technical solution, mark, or identification criteria), used for bulbs (or lamps) bases, which represents a bipollar electrical (thread) fitting with an in-going "Edison 33" (33 millimeters or 1.30 inch - size of thread) pressed (deep drawn) plate, side contact, as well a central end contact, but also the match size of lampholder with the over-going "Edison 33" thread, - belong(s) already to the Public Domain of intelectual property! Designs (which consists in detailed mechanical drawings or images) may be unrestricted used for manufacturing of bulbs and all kind of lamps. Samples of E33 bulb base (screw-caps) fixed to HID (mercury, sodium, metal-halide) lamps, incandescent and halogen, as well as to LED lamps, were already exhibited at technical fairs and exhibitions. There were also exposed ceramic E33 lampholders, with "Edison 33" (E33) fitting, suitable for the E33 bulb bases. The name "inter-size" of this kind of lampholder is a common word (as well as "medium" is), and may be unrestricted used, too. The short form is: "INT" or "E33" ; as also is "MED" or "E27", and "Mog" or "E40". The recognization name "E33" is also used in electrical domain. Concerning to this matters, two sizes of E33 screw-caps (bases) were designed: - the 'tall size', having a larger lateral area of thread plate and ceramic insulator, which is suitable for covering the heating condition of lamp, and therefore it may be used for higher (values of medium) power HID lamps (up to 250 Watt), or incandescent lamps up to 300 Watt. - the 'short size', which has a smaller thread plate area, but almost the same insulation thickness - covers rather the ignition voltage insulating condition, than the heating one. It is more suitable for HID lamps that use E40 bases only for the insulating condition (between base contact poles), but not for base overheating. (e.g. HPS 100, MHL 150 Watt) NOTICE ! Each manufacturer who intends to use E33 base for HID lamps using high voltage ignitors, must test the insulating betwen the thread plate and the central end contact. Pieces (drawings) of this design are shown in the base-down working (burning) position of the bulb (or lamp) and also for the lampholder. Dimensions are mainly shown in millimeters. 1mm=1in/25.4 Utilisation proposal: This kind of Edison-33 thread is already used for some electrical fuses of 35 to 63 A. Concerning to Edison screw-caps of bulbs, - the next used bulb thread base size after the E27 (medium), is the E40 (Mogul) one. The E40 screw-cap base is about 2,25 times larger in the cross area, 2,35...2,4 times larger in lateral area, and about 3,45...3,5 times bigger in volume, than the E27 screw base. Due to 220...240 V standards of HIDs, - for instance, the HID mercury lamps of 125 Watt have E27 base, while those of 250, 400, 700, 1000 Watt have an E40 base. If we divided the wattage of any lamp to the whole base outside volume it resulting some certain values, so we may conclude, as follow: - For a ratio (repport) of 9,25...9,3 the 400 W HID lamp may be consideded as well working. This means that the E40 screw base is outsized (oversized) of 2,3 times in case of using the same E40 base to a 175 mercury HID, and 4 times for a 100 Watt sodium HID, while the E27 base is insufficient (undersized) for both of these lamps. Advantages of an intermediate size in-between E27 and E40: 1 - All kind of advantages to use a smaller piece instead of a larger one, every where is possible. 2 - Some of interchangeability restriction possibility. 3 - Any extension of "base up" burning position, if base heating (condition) restricts it, for low power (70 to 125 Watt) HID lamps. 4 - E33 screw-cap may be also very suitable for HID lamps using ED28 jacket (around a length of ~223mm, and ~ 92mm diameter), or incandescent and halogen bulbs of 250-300 Watt. 5 - Avoids the use of a E40 base for lamps using E40 instead of an E27 bases because only of the ignition voltage. Some low power HID sodium or metal halide lamps use E40 bases only because of the E27 base insulator is insufficient for the ignition voltage insulating. In such of cases, the high E33 base with ceramic insulator is also very suitable.
