Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0555755A1] In the case of the high-pressure discharge lamp having a pinched discharge vessel and a metal halide filling, the electrodes (4) consist of a straight shank (17) on whose end facing the discharge arc a helical part (18) is placed which has turns which lie tightly against one another. Melted on to the free tip of the shank (17) is a solid head part which consists of tungsten, has a spherical shape at least in the direction of the discharge arc and is in close thermal contact with the helical part (18). The electrode shape results in a major reduction in flickering during operation of the lamp. <IMAGE>
