Symbol (see Figure 1), if applicable, for luminaires for lamps of similar shape to "cool
beam" lamps but where the use of a dichroic reflectorized "cool beam" lamp might impair
safety
什么样的灯泡才是冷光束的灯泡?作者: mrnalgene 时间: 2008-1-23 15:25
e.g.
MR16 Halogen bulb with dichroic reflector.
Cool Beam - Two thirds of the heat produced from the bulb is evacuated through the back of the lamp.
Filament bulb generats HEAT and LIGHT.
Dichroic coating is good to reflect the light but not to the heat. So most of the heat dissiplated from the back but the light is reflected and directed to the front. So you do not feel heat as the ordinary Filament bulb.
Cool Beam lamps must be used in open or well ventilated fixtures, suitably designed to dissipate the heat which is radiated to the back of the lamp.
