摘要

The invention relates to a fluorescent lamp 1 for exterior lighting having a discharge tube 2 of less than or equal to 26 mm outside diameter. Starting from a fluorescent lamp for interior use having a discharge tube 2 of less than or equal to 26 mm, it is possible to achieve optimum operation of the fluorescent lamp 1 in the case of exterior use by applying a thermally conducting material in the form of a coating of foil 15, 16 outside on the discharge tube 2 in the region of one or both electrodes 3, 4.
