BURNER

摘要

A burner (12) for a lamp (10), particularly a high discharge lamp, comprising a glass body (16) comprising an intended connecting area (26) for connecting a bulb (14) to the glass body (16), wherein the glass body (16) comprises at least one lead (24) protruding outwards from the glass body (16) for applying a voltage and a connecting foil (22) connected to the lead (16), wherein the connecting foil (22) protrudes into at least a part of the connecting area (26). Surprisingly it was found that it is not necessary to adapt the bulb (14) such that the risk for cracks of the bulb (14) is reduced, but to adapt the burner (12) of the lamp (10). Since the connection foil (22) is arranged at least in a part of the connecting area (26) a reduction of the risk for cracks of the bulb (14) is reduced due to the airtight seal by the connection foil (22) leading to a reduced risk of a reduced lifetime of the lamp (10) without significantly increasing the manufacturing costs.
