Abstract (en)

A high-pressure sodium lamp of the invention radiates white light with a colour temperature higher than 2250 K. The lamp is provided with a discharge vessel (1) with a ceramic wall (2). In the discharge vessel (1), electrodes (10a, 10b) are arranged which are connected to current supply conductors (20a, 20b) which are passed through the wall (2) in a gastight manner. The electrodes (10a, 10b) each have a rod (11a) ending in a tip (12a) and with a length l and diameter d. The rod (11a) of the electrodes (10a, 10b) is provided with a single winding (13a) of a wire with a diameter of at most d/3, which winding (13a) is remote from the tip (12a) of the rod (11a) over a distance of at most 2d. This construction enables a quick ignition of the lamp. <IMAGE>
