Innovation: Sintered electrodes

The difference between the sintered electrodes and traditional spiral electrodes:

  • The spiral electrode, which is traditionally used in lamps, is composed of a tungsten core with the tungsten wire reeled around it, and has the emitter placed between the wire coils.
  • The sintered electrode is composed of a tungsten core on which, with the use of unique innovative technology, the emitter mix  and a tungsten powder are fixed.
  • This results in the sintered electrodes containing 10-15 times the emitter quantity of a standard spiral electrode of identical size.

Advantages of using sintered electrodes:

  1. The service life of a lamp is increased 1.4 times or more.
  2. The decrease in luminous flux during service life of the lamp is significantly decreased.
