Abstract
Abstract A mixture of approximately 95% barium sulfate and 5% polyvinyl alcohol in powdered form is mixed into a solvent, heated and sprayed onto a diffusion surface to be used in conjunction with high-intensity lamps ranging from 200 watts to 18 kilowatts to convert the irregular lighting from these sources to a smooth, broad, even diffused source suitable for use in motion picture and television settings and other situations in which a very bright, but soft, evenly dispersed light is desirable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
Add-on diffuser module attachment for a high-intensity HMI lamp having a light source within a light casing and having spaced filter mounting supports extending from said casing, said diffuser module attachment comprising: (a) a housing having a light entrance opening and a light exit opening approximately 90° from said entrance opening and spaced screw mounts position about said light entrance opening and adapted to engage said filter mounting supports to mount said housing to the casing of a high-intensity lamp; (b) said housing defining a primary reflecting surface at an angle of on the order of 45° between said light entrance opening and said light exit opening; and (c) substantially the complete interior surface of said enclosure including all of said primary reflective surface having a coating of highly diffusive material comprising on the order of 95% barium sulfate thereon such that light form a high-intensity lamp to which said housing is mounted will be diffused and integrated and exit through said opening as high-intensity lambertian light.
