PHENO MENON OF THE ..IODINE GYGLE''

Ordinarily a lamp bulb gets darker as it operates throughout its life because of the fact that the tungsten evaporating from the hot filament travels to the cool bulb wall and ends-up as a black
deposit on the inner glass wall of the bulb.

In the ordinary course of events, the filament of an incandescent

lamp of relatively high wattage (500 watts, for example) cannot be compressed into a small glass bulb or tube because the high heat generated is more than the bulb walls can withstand when the filament is positioned too close to the side walls.

can readilv withstand a bulb wall temperature of 600" C or higher, which makes it possible to position the filament closer to the buib wall, thereby permitting the use of more powerful filaments in more compact envelopes. (The 500 watt "I.Q." lamp, for example, is no iarger than a fountain pen !)

In the "I.Q." line, however, a Quartz lamp bulb is used, which

Iodine is introduced into the Quartz bulb in the form of crystals during the course of its manufacture.
Because of the continuing action of the iodine within the bulb, no tungsten deposit accumulates on the bulb walls . . . and the highbulb wall temperature even incinerates dust particies on the outside of the Quartz bulb.

Comparing this light source with existing lamps of the same wattage we first see that "f.Q." lamps last 2000 hours or twice as long as conventional types. In addition, their efficiency throughout life is higher than lamps of the PS bulb shape because of the previously mentioned iodine cycle. This is markedly true in the 1500 watt, 277 voit lamps, \ryith an efficiency of 22 lumens per watt throughout life, whereas a high volt PS52 lamp has a comparable efficiency of only 14.5 LPW. This represents 50% more light from the "I.Q." lamp. In the case of the 500 watt "I.Q." lamp versus the newly announced 500 watt PS35 "axial filament" lamp, initial lumens for each lamp are the same. Due to almost perfect maintenance, however, the "I.Q." lamp will produce l0/c to 20/c more light throughout life which,
as previously stated, is 2000 hours as compared to the standard lamp life of 1000 hours.

{ncandescent lamps come back into their own with the advent of Iodine Quartz lamps, fitting into many new and interesting indoor and outdoor applications that call for a lamp of small size, high output, and a highly concentrated, directable iight source.

When used with properly designed reflectors, "f.Q." lamps make possible a precise control of light. The iodine Quaftz line offers great opportunities to floodlighting equipment manufacturers. Reflector design principies for iine sources can control beam spread to achieve a wide, fan-shaped pattern or a rectangular-shaped wider beam, as
required. The 1500 watt, high voltage type fits well into 480/277 volt distribution systems, which are steadily growing in popularity for both industrial and commerciai applications.
