Abstract

The subject invention, therefore, relates to a multi-layer coating for use on a thick-walled metal halide lamp which emits visible light radiation and absorbs and reflects UV radiation, and which further manages the thermal non-uniformity problems across the thickness of the arc tube to substantially eliminate devitrification problems.
