Abstract

A base-up incandescent lamp (10) includes a coiled-coil filament (14) that has a primary wire (18) and a secondary wire (16), the primary wire (18) comprising an overwind that overlies the secondary wire (16) and provides a lower filament temperature and, therefore, less filament sag and a concomitant longer lamp life.
