に設けられている。Conventionally, when an electric bulb type fluorescent lamp has a power consumption of 25 W and a brightness equivalent to that of a general electric bulb of 100 W, the outer diameter is small in order to suppress the lamp current by making the fluorescent tube long and thin with a compact shape. A fluorescent tube was used in which the ends of three U-shaped bulbs of 11.0 to 12.5 mm were bridge-connected to form one discharge path. A mixed rare gas of argon 50% and neon 50% at 400 Pa is enclosed in the fluorescent tube, and bismuth is 55% by weight to 75%.

よって蛍光管が割れてしまう等の問題があった。However, such a compact fluorescent lamp consumes high power, and when the fluorescent tube is covered with a globe and an envelope is formed by the globe and the case, the temperature of the amalgam is reduced. The fluorescent tube could not be covered with the globe because the temperature of the fluorescent tube rose and the luminous efficiency in the ambient temperature was deteriorated. Therefore, in such a lamp, since it is not possible to use gloves, water droplets such as rain enter the case, causing a malfunction in the lighting circuit, resulting in a short life, and vibration and shock during product transportation. There was a problem that the fluorescent tube was broken by this.

ｍが良いことが確認できた。As is apparent from Table 1, the outer diameter is 12.5.
If the size exceeds mm, the internal volume becomes larger than that of the conventional fluorescent tube, so that the fluorescent tube itself becomes large, the compatibility with the equipment deteriorates, and the bulb-shaped fluorescent lamp body also becomes large.
Further, when the outer diameter of the fluorescent tube is less than 11.0 mm, the light emitting area of the fluorescent tube is reduced and it becomes difficult to achieve high output. Therefore, the outer diameter of the fluorescent tube is 11.0 to 12.5 m.
It was confirmed that m was good.

In order to obtain a brightness equivalent to 100 W with a power consumption of 25 W, the fluorescent tube 1 in which one end of the letter-shaped bulb is bridge-connected to form one discharge path is covered with the envelope 7 including the globe 5 and the case 4. In addition, the amalgam that has been used in the past, that is,
55% to 75% by weight of bismuth and 25% of indium
When the weight ratio is 45% by weight and the mercury content is 3.2% by weight to 5.5% by weight, the amalgam temperature is about 1 when the lamp is lit in a normal temperature atmosphere.
Since the temperature reaches 30 ° C., the luminous efficiency is significantly reduced.

By encapsulating 5% by weight to 2.8% by weight of amalgam 2, the size of the fluorescent tube is not changed from the conventional one, and the fluorescent tube is covered with an envelope including a globe and a case. It was also found that a high-power bulb-type fluorescent lamp can be obtained without lowering the luminous efficiency.

50% argon, 50% neon mixed noble gas, bismuth 55 wt% to 75 wt%, indium 25 wt% to 45 wt%, mercury 3.2 wt% to 5.5 wt% amalgam. A conventional compact bulb-shaped fluorescent lamp (hereinafter referred to as a conventional product) that was enclosed was manufactured, and the ambient temperature characteristics of each were compared.

The luminous flux peaks at 0 ° C. and decreases by about 5% at room temperature (25 ° C.), and the luminous flux further decreases as the temperature rises, whereas in the product of the present invention (curve A), the luminous flux peaks at room temperature. Even at high temperatures, it maintains a high luminous flux compared to conventional products.

ａがよい。Table 2 shows the lamp current when the power consumption is set to 25 W and the luminous flux decline rate after lighting for 6000 hours (luminous flux of 6000 hours / luminous flux of 100 hours × 100). As shown in Table 2, when the mixing ratio of neon to argon is increased, the lamp current is suppressed and the heat generation of the lamp can be suppressed, but when the mixing ratio of neon exceeds 50%, the luminous flux decline rate is less than 60%. . Generally, a bulb-type fluorescent lamp has a rated life of 6000 hours, and the time when the lamp reaches a spot or the luminous flux decline rate falls below 60% is regarded as the life. Therefore, the mixing ratio of neon to argon is preferably 0% to 50%. Regarding gas pressure, 3
If the pressure is less than 00 Pa, the luminous flux deteriorating property is deteriorated, and if it exceeds 600 Pa, the luminous flux is lowered, and it is difficult to achieve high output, which is the object of the present invention. Therefore, the enclosed rare gas pressure is 300 Pa to 600 P.
a is good.
