ABSTRACT:
A lighting system (11) utilizes a high intensity quartz halogen bulb (12) surrounded by a spaced dome (18) to permit substantially spherical radiation of luminous energy for general area illumination. A control mechanism (41) responds to a remotely located manually operable switch (37) and includes a transformer (47) coupled to a power source (61) through a gatable triac (52) having a gate terminal (56) connected to the power source (61) through a series circuit (57) including a resistor (58), a diac (59) and a capacitor (60). The closure of the remotely located manual switch (37) activates the control mechanism (41) to gate the triac (52) into conduction to thereby energize the transformer (47) and the inter-connected high intensity quartz halogen bulb (12). An alternative embodiment provides three high intensity quartz halogen bulbs (71-73) connected in series circuit with a diode (77) to provide extremely high intensity light.
