METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A LENGTH OF AN ELECTRODE OF A DISCHARGE LAMP AND DISCHARGE LAMP

摘要

A method for designing a length of an electrode of a discharge lamp may include introducing fill materials into a discharge space of a lamp bulb of the discharge lamp; combining at least a first fill material with evaporated electrode material during operation of the discharge lamp; and forming a storage material for the electrode material in the lamp bulb by the combination, the electrode material contained in the storage material being released again as a function of a temperature effect on the storage material and being transported to the tip of the electrode and being deposited there so as to lengthen the electrode.
