A monitoring device for monitoring at least one fluorescent lamp, particu larly in areas at risk of explosion, which fluorescent lamp has a lamp tube with electrodes arranged on the ends thereof in the form of coils, and lamp sockets assigned to said electrodes, is improved for preventing large temper ature increases in a corresponding fluorescent lamp, particularly in areas a t risk of explosion, by complying with the appropriate explosion safety meas ure, in that the monitoring device has at least one temperature measuring de vice assigned to a coil, and one electro-mechanical interruption device with which the energy supply to the fluorescent lamp can be interrupted upon rea ching a preset critical temperature value.
