The High Pressure Neon Arc Lamp

OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING


The High-Pressure Neon Lamp as another attempt to achieve a red light source for esoterics, Light Communities, Areas of Light and Contact Zones

Depiction of a possible appearance of  
the Neon HID lamp


NOTICE!
Discussion about the 'high pressure neon arc lamp' (Ne) do not include the proposed 'medium pressure neon-mercury discharge lamp', which is a case itself.
This one will use for research the 'common' phosphorous coating for HID mercury lamps. It's main light spectrum is expected to come out from the discharge itself, and will be a reddish based spectrum. Let's say from light-cyclamen to violet-red, depending of the balance between neon and mercury (in discharge terms, not in 'weights').


Neon, as a light gas of high thermal conductivity, leading to much heat being lost from the electrodes, is expected to have a less efficient discharge in this way. So, an as high as technically possible pressure discharge must be achieved in order to provide a high constriction of the arc discharge.

    I might as well come here since I don't see any point wading through the sewage to find one decent comment in the other blog.

    Higher pressure means higher melting point, and compacts the material enough that the atoms are squeezed closer for higher conductivity.

    This is different from the vacuum environment of the traditional incandescent light bulb, without which the tungsten filament would not last long.

    I wondered if it has been experimented before with using a bulb filled with some sort of chemically inert mist, and shine a laser through it? The mist will scatter the laser light, creating the illumination.

    1. Briefly, in case of discharge lamps, 'high pressure', 'medium pressure', 'low-pressure' means the pressure of gas discharge inside the discharge tube:

    2. Is not clear how the bulb you describe should look like. However, to give some answer, consider that a laser diode might be inside a bulb as you describe above.
      We give most of our examples in bulb shapes of ED90 (as above), ED 120, ED165, which are prolated spheroides with a ratio of app 1.62. BT bulb shapes are also, but with app 1.41 ratio.

    3. Referring to the 'laser bulb' I describe, recall those movies where the laser from an automatic rifle shines through the smoke. The smoke helps to diffuse the otherwise single beam light into an illuminated smoke and turns it into a light source.

  2. This is worth a look that could help with bulbs or the related components in an electric circuit:

  3. NOTICE!
    Consider the HPS lamp in the link and image above to be without Na and Hg at all, but having a greater amount of only Ne-98.5%/Ar-1.5% penning filling.
    So, consider that it starts proper (as there is the scientific proof) on a magnetic (reactive) mercury ballast of 250 or 400, or on a sodium ballast of 250 (which is in-between as reactance).
    At a stage, the research has to find out the quantity of penning mixture which, after the warm-up time, will lead to a stabilized current corresponding to the rated current of the magnetic ballast which the (under research) lamp it is running on.

    1. Please notice also that for the research lamp the arc tube must be made by alumina silicate hard glass.
