AR-1 data

[Jon]

I just picked up a couple of GE AR-1 argon glow discharge bulbs on eBay as a reference for argon glow colour. Does anyone have the GE datasheet for this one? I've drawn a blank at the usual sources.

 

Thanks,

 

Jon.

Could this be of use: http://www.lamptech.co.uk/Spec%20Sheets/GE%20AR1.htm ? It mentions a patent at the bottom: "US Patent 1965587, Ted Eugene Foulke, General Electric Company, 1934."

Jon,

There is a graph showing the light output distribution of the AR-1 (and
2,3,4 & 9) on page 12 of the GE glowlamp manual 2nd ed. In a quick (and
I mean quick!) look through I did not see any other information but it
could be worth a better delve.

Thanks Grahame & Martin. I didn't see any additional info in the glowlamp manual either aside from the graph Grahame mentioned.
