ABSTRACT:
Life expectancy, through reduction of filament sag and halogen corrosion of tungsten filaments, is greatly increased for tungsten-halogen lamps by including within the filament environment a quantity of copper. The copper can be present as one of the lead-in wires; a plating on the lead-in wires; a separate copper insert; or a coating on the filament. It is believed the copper acts as an oxygen getter.
