ABSTRACT:
A light filtering system for improving the spectral output from fluorescent lamps. A filter placed within the lamp envelope between the phosphor coating and the arc discharge path between the lamp electrodes, absorbs mercury arc radiation in the visible range while passing arc radiation in the ultraviolet range to excite the phoshor coating and produce visible light emitted through the outer envelope.
