Abstract (en)

An improved high pressure gas discharge lamp. The lamp contains a standard arc tube (10) having electrodes (13) disposed at each end. The outer surface of at least one end of the arc tube is coated with a layer (14) of high radiative emissive material such as graphite or carbon. The coating serves to increase the radiative output of the arc tube at its so-called cold spot so as to cool the cold spot. The coating greatly decreases the voltage variation from lamp to lamp and permits manufacture of lamps within tighter voltage tolerances than have hitherto been achieved. <IMAGE>
