Abstract
Abstract A high color rendering fluorescent lamp having two-layered phosphor coating, wherein a first layer is formed immediately on the inner face of glass tube containing phosphors of alkaline earth halophosphate activated by antimony manganese or of alkaline earth holophosphate activated by antimony or both, and a second layer (an overriding layer) is formed on the first layer containing a phosphor having peak wavelength of emission at 470 nm-500 nm and absorbing line spectrum of mercury in visible short wavelength range, at least one of a phosphor of (Sr, Mg) 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Sn and a phosphor of (Sr, Ba) 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Sn.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A high color rendering fluorescent lamp having: a transparent enclosure containing means for generating ultraviolet light, a first phosphor layer which is provided on the inner face of said transparent enclosure and contains at least one of a phosphor of an alkaline earth metal halophosphate activated by antimony-manganese and a phosphor of alkaline earth metal halophosphate activated by antimony, and a second phoshor layer which is provided further on said first phosphor layer and contains at least a phosphor of strontium-aluminate activated by divalent europium indicated by the general formula Sr 4-x Eu x Al 14 O 25 , wherein 0.02≦x≦0.80, having a peak wavelength of emission at 470 nm-500 nm and absorbing the bright line spectrum of mercury in the visible short wavelength range, and at least one member selected from the group consisting of a phosphor of strontium-magnesium phosphate activated by tin having the formula (Sr, Mg) 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Sn and a phosphor of strontium-barium-magnesium phosphate activated by tin having the formula (Sr, Ba, Mg) 3 (PO 4 ) 2 :Sn.
