Lamp having metal conductor bonded to ceramic leg member

摘要

A lamp includes a discharge vessel comprising a body portion defining a discharge space and leg members extending therefrom. Electrode assemblies include conductors carried by bores of the respective leg members. At least one of the conductors is bonded directly to the respective leg member within the bore, without the need for a sealing material, to form an airtight seal. Electrodes are electrically connected to the conductors and extend into the discharge vessel. An ionizable fill is sealed within the vessel.
