Abstract (en)

The electric discharge lamp has a discharge vessel (2), which is mounted in an outer bulb (1). A glass sleeve (10) is surrounding the discharge vessel. A coiled wire (11) is used as an envelope (11) to a glass sleeve. The wire is in an electrically floating manner fixed around the sleeve (10), e.g. by clamping fit. The construction of the lamp is simple an effective to protect the outer bulb (1) from being damaged by an explosion of the lamp vessel (2) and to prevent sodium, if present, to disappear from the discharge vessel as a result of photoemission. <IMAGE>
