German term

Brenner

German to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Lighting / Car lights or lamps
Context: Car lighting/lamps
Die (...) Konstruktion von "Brenner" und Sockel entspricht bei allen XXX Lampen der Erstausrüsterqualität.

So, I am unsure whether this is simply "burner" and base or is "Brenner" here the bulb? I know in oil lamps what a burner (and base) is, but never heard it in newer electrical lamps.
Thanks very much in advance.

Danke.
agree Cilian O'Tuama : maybe they're just distinguishing between the parts of a bulb, i.e. the "light element" and the base

Thank you.
disagree Anton Popescu : there is no mention of "discharge". what if it is the old type filament bulb? I'd settle for "tube". Cilian O'Tuama also went in this direction even though he agreed.

Well, "IQ", why don't you take the "official" version of Brenner, Gasentladungsröhre (Xenon), and realize while googling [brenner+gasentladungsröhre] that these are used synonymously.

burner

OR simply "lamp" - according to Langenscheidt Fachwörterbuch Technik und angewandte Wissenschaften (p. 1209) in the following entries (see books.google):

metal halide burner - HQI-Brenner; HQI-Lampe
metale halide lamp - Halogen-Metalldampf-Brenner.

What is meant in the present context is probably a very bright HQI-lamp.

A discharge tube or gas-filled tube is called "Gasentladungsröhre" in German.
