Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0444590A1] Disclosure is given for a technique of preventing arc displacement from occurring in an iron-filled metal vapor discharge lamp which additionally contains magnesium so as to prevent the iron from depositing on the internal wall surface of the bulb (1) of said lamp and forming a thin iron film. Namely, in the disclosed metal vapor discharge lamp arc displacement can securely be prevented by incorporating thallium in an amount of 3.2 x 10<-><9> to 2.0 x 10<-><7> mol per cc of content volume of the bulb. <IMAGE>
