In a high-pressure discharge lamp that includes a bulb formed from a light emitting part having a discharge space therein and a pair of sealing parts connected to the light emitting part, and an electrode pair disposed within the discharge space, a section of a proximity conductor is wound substantially spirally around one of the sealing parts within a predetermined range from the light emitting part, while the remaining section of the proximity conductor crosses over the light emitting part and is electrically connected to the electrode nearer the other sealing part. By initiating a discharge after applying a high-frequency voltage of 1 kHz to 1 MHz to a high-pressure mercury lamp having this structure, the breakdown voltage can be suppressed to at least 8 kV.

A method for manufacturing a high-pressure discharge lamp includes a process step in which a sealing portion is formed out of a side tube portion of a glass pipe that is designed for use in a discharge lamp. In the step of forming the sealing portion, a compound glass tube, which is composed of an outer tube made of a first glass and an inner tube made of a second glass whose softening point is lower than that of the first glass, is inserted into the side tube portion, which is also formed of the first glass. The side tube portion is then heated so that the side tube portion is brought in tight contact with the compound glass tube. Thereafter, at least the sealing portion is heated at a temperature higher than the strain point temperature of the second glass portion.

A high pressure discharge lamp which achieves a long life of at least 3000 hours and in which variations in lamp characteristics are suppressed is disclosed. In the high pressure discharge lamp of the present invention, during manufacturing of an electrode, a covering member 123 having a coil shape and being made of refractory metal is applied on a discharge side end of an electrode rod 122 made of refractory metal so as to cover a circumference of the electrode rod 122 in a vicinity of the discharge side end. The discharge side end 124 on which the covering member 123 is applied is fused into a semi-sphere by intermittently heat fusing the discharge side end according, for instance, to arc discharge or laser irradiation.

A manufacturing method of a high-pressure mercury lamp includes an electric field application step in which an electric field is applied to at least a light emission part (4) with the high-pressure mercury lamp being kept at a high temperature. This can reduce impurities such as hydrogen and alkali metals in a discharge space (8) and glass forming the light emission part (4). As a consequence, blackening and devitrification of the high-pressure mercury lamp while the lamp is lit can be reduced.

A lamp with a reflector in which a lamp is fixed firmly inside a reflector by fixing the lamp inside the reflector without using an adhesive. The lamp with a reflector includes a lamp having a base at one end and a reflector including, at one end of its reflecting surface, a hole into which the base of the lamp is inserted and an opening portion at the other end. The base is maintained in the hole, so that the lamp is positioned inside the reflector. The lamp is fixed inside the reflector by fitting a hollow metal fitting into the hole, inserting the base into the hollow metal fitting, and then combining the base and the hollow metal fitting into one component by welding. The position of the lamp inside the reflector can be adjusted easily and no process for drying an adhesive is required.

A short-arc high pressure discharge lamp with a shorter distance between electrodes than a conventional lamp that realizes a long life of at least 3000 hours and suppresses the arc jump phenomenon is disclosed. In the high pressure discharge lamp, an electrode tip 124 is transformed into a semi-sphere by fusing and processing an electrode rod 122 and a coil 123 wound around an end of the electrode rod 122. A thickness “de” and a diameter “&phgr;e” of the semi-sphere are each set in a range predetermined in correspondence with a power input (W) of the short-arc high pressure discharge lamp.

A method for manufacturing a high pressure mercury lamp having a high pressure resistance strength includes an electric field application step of applying an electric field to at least a light emitting part while keeping the high pressure mercury lamp at a high temperature. As a result of the electric field application step, impurities such as hydrogen and an alkali metal existing in a discharge space and in glass used for forming the light emitting part (1) and sealing parts (2) can be reduced, with it being possible to suppress blackening and devitrification during lighting.

A lamp with a reflector comprises a high pressure discharge lamp and a reflector. The reflector has a first opening and a second opening. Clearance between a sealing portion of the high pressure discharge lamp and the second opening is substantially filled. The sealing portion includes a first glass portion extending from a luminous bulb and a second glass portion provided in the inside of the first glass portion, and the sealing portion has a portion to which a compressive stress is applied. Moreover, when the sealing portion is disposed to extend in a substantially horizontal direction, a portion of the reflector is formed with an air inlet for introducing an air flow striking against an upper portion of the luminous bulb 1 and then coming into a lower portion of the luminous bulb 1.
