Abstract

A light bulb type fluorescent lamp which is able to suppress generation of electromagnetic waves and to emit beneficial far infrared rays. The light bulb type fluorescent lamp includes a bioceramic material applied to the inner surfaces of an injection housing which contains a stabilizer and other parts. The bioceramic effectively weakens the strength of the electromagnetic waves generated by the stabilizer to minimize damage to electronic equipment. At the same time, the bioceramic emits far infrared rays which benefit the human body, provide a comfortable living environment and raise the efficiency of the body.

Claims

1. A light bulb type fluorescent lamp, wherein said lamp comprises:

an upper housing portion having walls defining a first inner surface;

a lower housing portion having walls and configured to connectably engage said upper housing portion such that said upper housing portion and said lower housing portion define an internal space, and wherein said walls of said lower housing portion define a second inner surface;

a baseplate including a first side and a second side, said first side of said baseplate adapted to connect with said lower housing portion;

a stabilizer disposed on said first side of said baseplate;

a fluorescent lighting element disposed on said second side of said baseplate; and

a far infrared emitting material for emitting beneficial far infrared rays, the far infrared emitting material being disposed on both said first inner surface of said upper housing portion and said second inner surface of said lower housing portion, wherein said far infrared emitting material is a bioceramic.

2. The light bulb type fluorescent lamp of claim 1, wherein said stabilizer emits electromagnetic waves, and said far infrared emitting material reduces the strength of said electromagnetic waves.

3. The light bulb type fluorescent lamp of claim 2, wherein said far infrared emitting material reduces the strength of said electromagnetic waves by at least 50%.

4. The light bulb type fluorescent lamp of claim 1, wherein said upper housing portion includes a socket base for connecting to a source of power.
