Patent ID: 7851981

Claim:
An improved perceived brightness and lower temperature miniature incandescent light bulb for using in an ornamental light set having a plurality of relatively low wattage bulbs wired together into a string, said bulbs configured for maximum visible illumination, comprising: a. a base, b. a least a pair of electrical contacts in said base c. a pair of lead connected to said contacts, d. an elongated airtight envelope having a generally transparent domed canopy top, secured to said base, said envelope having a top distal end and a bottom end proximal to said base, e. a non conductive junction having said leads passing therethrough; f. wound illumination filament connected to said leads inside said envelope; the improvement comprising: using longer leads from the non-conductive junction to the filament thereby locating said filament inside said envelope proximate said canopy top thereof, winding the filament more tightly than industry standards, so that heat generated is more distance from the base and more light is disbursed away from the base.
