Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lamp ( 10 ) is formed of a lamp capsule ( 1 ) sealed with a press seal ( 2 ) penetrated by electrical lead-ins ( 12 ), the lamp ( 1 ) being received in an insulating base ( 16 ) that has external electrical pins ( 18 ). Power leads ( 20 ) interconnect respective capsule lead-ins ( 12 ) and base pins ( 18 ). Power leads ( 20 ) are formed of stranded wire having a plurality of intertwined strands.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lamp assembly ( 10 ) comprising: a lamp capsule ( 1 ) comprising a filament ( 6 ) therein connected to at least one electrical lead-in ( 12 ) extending through a press seal ( 2 ) to an exterior of the lamp capsule, an insulative base ( 16 ) comprising at least one conductive pin ( 18 ) extending therefrom, the press seal ( 2 ) of the lamp capsule ( 1 ) being affixed to the base ( 16 ), and at least one power lead ( 20 ) disposed in the base ( 16 ) and electrically interconnecting the lead-in ( 12 ) to the conductive pin ( 18 ), wherein the at least one power lead ( 20 ) comprises stranded wire having a plurality of intertwined strands. 2. The lamp assembly ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the at least one power lead ( 20 ) comprises stranded wire formed as #16/19 stranded wire. 3. The lamp assembly ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the at least one power lead ( 20 ) is formed as a cable. 4. The lamp assembly ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the lamp capsule ( 1 ) comprises two electrical lead-ins ( 12 ), one each formed as an anode and a cathode, the base ( 16 ) comprises two conductive pins ( 18 ); and the at least one power lead ( 20 ) comprises two power leads ( 20 ) interconnecting respective pairs of the lead-ins ( 12 ) and the conductive pins ( 18 ), each power lead ( 20 ) comprising standard wire. 5. The lamp assembly ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the at least one power lead ( 20 ) comprises a wire segment formed as a fuse ( 22 ).
