Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0569208A1] The invention relates to a low pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp assembly (10). The assembly comprises an elongate wedge-shaped control circuit (22) arranged to be plugged into a base (12). A pair of splayed discharge tubes (16, 18) extend from the base and flank the control circuit housing, The base terminates in a conventional screw or bayonet-type fitting (14). The invention extends to a control circuit housing arranged to house both a ballast and starter circuitry (54). The overall length of the assembly is reduced by virtue of the control circuit housing being positioned alongside the discharge tube. The compact nature of the discharge assembly makes it suited as a replacement for conventional incandescent light bulbs. <IMAGE>
