Abstract: In a gas discharge tube 1 of the present invention, a focusing electrode portion 14 and a discharge limiting portion 30 are electrically insulated, and the discharge limiting portion 30 comprises a discharge limiting opening 31 which opposes an arc ball shaping concave portion 16. Thus the formation of a discharge path from a cathode portion 20 to the concave portion 16 is ensured and a starting discharge can be reliably generated. Further, by means of the discharge limiting opening 31 which opposes the concave portion 16, an arc ball S can be continuously maintained in an appropriate shape even when a lamp is illuminated, and thus the arc ball S can be shaped with stability, thereby stabilizing the luminance and light quantity.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp (10) with improved life is formed by winding a coil (30) using first, and second mandrels (45, 46), and optionally a third mandrel (70). The coil is wound around the second mandrel to provide a coil density of at least 95%. The coil is able to carry an amount of emitter material of about 0.6-1.6 mg/cm of coil. This has been found to lead to substantially increased lamp life, on both instant and rapid start circuits.

During the first period, the driving waveform generation section applies a first voltage to the at least one illumination device, the first voltage causing the at least one illumination device to be turned entirely-ON. During the second period, the driving waveform generation section applies a second voltage to at least a portion of the at least one illumination device.

Abstract: A planar fluorescent lamp having a resistive trace and optically transmissive cover electrodes is described. In one embodiment, the lamp includes an insulative lamp body with the transparent cover electrodes supported by the lamp cover. The resistive trace is supported by the base, either as an exterior resistive trace or within the lamp. The resistive trace acts as a heating element by producing heat in response to an electric current passed through the resistive trace. Because the resistive trace is in thermal contact with the lamp body, heat produced by the resistive trace heats the lamp, improving cold starting. The cover electrodes and, in some embodiments, the resistive trace, are used to control electric fields within the lamp body by applying voltage potentials between discrete cover electrodes or between the cover electrodes and the resistive trace. The controllable electric fields improve cold starting and uniformity of light during low light operation. In an alternative embodiment, the lamp includes an insulatively coated metal lamp body with a glass cover soldered thereto. In another alternative embodiment, the lamp includes two lamp covers with a fluorescent material sandwiched therebetween.
