Next, the operation of such a conventional device will be explained. now,
When the high-pressure discharge lamp 9 configured as described above is placed vertically with the cap 8 facing upward and a commercial power source 11 is applied through the lighting device 10, the arc tube 1 lights up and the lighting device 1o
A current limited by the current flows and a stable lighting condition is achieved. At this time, since the voltage of the commercial power supply 11 applied to the arc tube 1 is symmetrical in each positive and negative half cycle, the temperature distribution inside the arc tube 1 is determined by the lighting direction of the arc tube 1. That is, the internal temperature of the arc tube 1 is lower than that of the electrode 3 located at the top of the arc tube 1.
It is highest near the bottom of the arc tube 1, decreases toward the bottom of the arc tube 1, and is lowest near the electrode 2 located at the bottom. Therefore, the coldest point of the arc tube 1 is near the electrode 2, and the metal halide which is excessively sealed and does not evaporate is attached near the coldest point, and the heat insulating film covering the vicinity of the electrode 2 4, the temperature at the coldest point was raised to evaporate the metal halide, so that the light emission from the discharge of the arc tube 1 was optimized.

However, such conventional devices have the following drawbacks: 2. In order to increase the temperature of the coldest point by applying the heat insulating film 4, the light emission by the discharge of the arc tube 1 is optimized. There is a heat insulating film 4 & an electrode 2 located at the bottom.
It is necessary to apply from the tip to the top. Therefore, even if the light emission inside the arc tube 1 is optimal, the luminous efficiency is low because the light emitted to the outside of the arc tube 1 is blocked by the heat insulating film 4. In addition, the temperature of electrodes 2 and 3 is similarly low, and the temperature of electrode 2 located at the bottom is lower than that of electrode 3 located at the top.It is difficult to obtain an optimal operational arrangement for both electrodes 2 and 3. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lighting device which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, improves temperature distribution through lighting waveforms, and provides optimum light emission.

When commercial @, H, and tx are applied to the lighting device 12, the voltage of the open source 11 is full-wave rectified by the rectifier circuit 13, smoothed by the capacitor 14, and converted into a DC voltage with less ripple. be done. At the same time, the control circuit 21 also operates to turn on and off the transistors 15 to 18 to convert the DC voltage into a rectangular wave. That is, when transistors 15 and 18i are simultaneously turned on and transistors 16 and 17 are turned off by the operation of control circuit 21, a voltage of capacitor 14 is generated at output terminals 12a and 12b with the polarity shown. Next, transistors 15.18 are turned off and transistors 16.18 are turned off.
When the capacitor 17 is turned on, a voltage of the capacitor 14 is generated at the output terminals 12a and 12b with a polarity opposite to that shown. Therefore,
The output voltage of the lighting device 12 is a rectangular wave, and this rectangular wave is applied to the arc tube 1 via the base 8 and the lead 6.7, and a current controlled by the resistor 19.20 flows through the arc tube 1. It becomes a stable point-off state. In Figure 3, (a)
(b) is an operating waveform diagram of transistors 16, 17, and (C) is a current waveform diagram applied to arc tube 1. Here, transistor 1
5. The peak value of the current flowing through the resistor 20 when transistors 16 and 17 are on and off is 80. The peak value of the current flowing through the resistor 19 when transistor 16.17 is on and transistors 15 and 18 are off. If the peak value is A2, the resistance 20 is larger than the resistance 18, so A, < A,
becomes. When the current value is A, the electrode 2 of the arc tube 1 is positive and the electrode 3 is negative, and when the current value is A2, the electrode 2 is negative and the electrode 3 is positive. Therefore, in the electrode 2 which is closer to the coldest point in the arc tube 1, the peak value of the negative current is larger than the peak value of the positive current, and the amount of heat generated by the electrode 2 becomes larger than that of the electrode 3. Therefore, the temperature of the electrodes 2 and 3 becomes uniform to obtain the optimum operating temperature, and the heat insulating film 4 only needs to be applied to the lower part of the electrode 2, so that the light emitted by the arc tube 1 is blocked. This increases the luminous efficiency.

In the above embodiment, the case where the high-pressure discharge lamp 9 is lit vertically has been described, but this is not the only case; for example, even when the high-pressure discharge lamp 9 is turned off horizontally, the structure near the electrodes 2, 3 The present invention can be applied even when there are variations in temperature. Also, the high-pressure discharge lamp may be one filled with metal halide.3. Further, the alternating current generated by the lighting device 12 may be a sine wave or a triangular wave instead of a rectangular wave, but the circuit configuration will be the simplest if the alternating current is a rectangular wave.
