Abstract (en)

A fluorescent lamp apparatus is disclosed which (15) includes a fluorescent lamp including a discharge tube (16) having a discharge space (17) filled with a gas conducive to light emission and electrodes (20) sealed one at each end of the tube and having a phosphor layer (21) coated on an inner surface (18) of the tube (16) and a high-frequency lighting circuit (30) for supplying a high-frequency electric power with a potential gradient set at over 5 V/cm, in which a light-transmitting electric insulation layer (22) is provided between the phosphor layer (21) and the inner surface (18) of the tube (16). The fluorescent lamp apparatus is of such a type that mercury ions within the discharge space (17) are prevented by the insulating layer from intruding in the wall of the tube (16).
