Abstract
Abstract A quartz-halogen lamp has a coiled filament connected to a ribbon connector by a tungsten conductor, the ribbon connector being embedded within a press seal of the lamp envelope. The diameter of the conductor is at least about three times the diameter of the filament wire in order to prevent lamp explosions resulting from high amperage arcs that may occur at the time of filament failure.
