The invention relates to a dipping cap comprising a filament for a dual-filament lamp. The dimension between an outlet of an outgoing section of the filament, on the side of the base, and the point on the outgoing section of the filament, arranged opposite the outgoing section of the filament on the side of the base and welded to the dipping cap, measures more than approximately 5.2 mm and less than 9.7 mm, and the dimension between the outlet of the outgoing section of the filament, on the side of the base, and the front surface of the dipping cap, which is adjacent to the outgoing section of the filament, welded to the dipping cap, measures more than approximately 5.9 mm and less than 11.9 mm.
