Abstract (en)

The invention provides an improved high pressure sodium lamp of nominally 70 watt rating operating at a lamp voltage V of substantially 70 - 130 volts in which for satisfactory life, efficacy and colour, for an arc tube of internal diameter d in the range 3.0 to 5.0mm, the sodium mole fraction x, in the range 0.63 - 0.8, and arc length l are determined by interpolation or extrapolation on the graph of Figure 3 or by the equation l = 4d + 11.76x + 0.25 V - 16.4
