Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0456907A2] In the high-pressure discharge lamp, having a power less than or equal to 400 W, and having a metal-halide filling, especially of sodium and tin, each of the two electrodes (4, 5) consists of an electrode pin (17) and an electrode head (19) mounted thereon. The electrode head (19) has an essentially cylindrical or truncated- conical external contour and a mass M in mg, whose maximum and minimum permissible value is given by the formula M = iL x (23 +/- 8). The electrode pin (17) has a diameter d in mm, whose maximum and minimum value is determined by the formula d = 2ROOT 0.083 x iL +/- 0.02, iL being the root-mean-square value of the lamp current in A. In addition, the tip of the electrode pin (17) supporting the electrode head (19) extends at most up to the end of the electrode head (19) facing the discharge arc. The electrode erosion and the flicker factor can be kept small as a result of the electrode shape. <IMAGE>
