LOW-PRESSURE DISCHARGE LAMP AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A LOW-PRESSURE DISCHARGE LAMP

摘要

A low-pressure discharge lamp in accordance with the invention is provided with a light-transmissive discharge vessel (1) which encloses a discharge space (10) in a gastight manner. The discharge space (10) contains an ionizable filling comprising an evaporable component. The low-pressure discharge lamp is also provided with means for maintaining an electric discharge in the discharge space. The low-pressure discharge lamp is further provided with a carrier (3) with a resilient body (30) and an open container (31). The resilient body (30) is clamped inside a tube (14) which communicates with the discharge space (10). The container (31) is clamped inside the resilient body (30). In the absence of the container (31), the resilient body (30) can be inserted in a released state in the tube (14) with play (x).
