Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide, without increasing the costs or decreasing the quantity of light, a fluorescent lamp that is less likely to have the bridge and the constituent tubes damaged while being handled and has improved handleability, as well as to provide a manufacturing method therefor. It is arranged so that the distance between the first and second constituent tubes gradually becomes smaller from the base side of the lamp toward the turning portion side of the lamp where the discharge paths turn. It is arranged so that the value of D2/D1 is within a range of 0.05 to 0.70 inclusive, where D1 is the distance between the first and second constituent tubes being measured at the bridge connecting points on the base side, and D2 is the shortest distance between the first and second constituent tubes on the turning portion side.

Abstract: A ceramic arc tube for a metal halide discharge lamp is described wherein the lower end well of the arc tube has an internal barrier ridge which substantially prevents migration of the metal halide condensate into the central region of the discharge chamber during vertical operation. The use of the ridge reduces fluctuation in the color temperature of vertically operated lamps and improves efficacy.

Abstract: A high-pressure gas discharge lamp (HID nullhigh intensity dischargenull lamp) is described which is designed in particular so as to be free from mercury and suitable for use in automobile technology. To achieve improved lamp properties, in particular a substantially equal luminous efficacy compared with lamps of the same power and having a gas filling with mercury, as well as a burning voltage which is as high as possible, a geometry is proposed for the discharge space (2) which raises the temperature of the coldest spot in the lamp to such a degree that the light-generating substances can enter the gas phase to a sufficient extent also without mercury, and in particular in combination with the use of a metal halide as a voltage gradient generator.
