| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a high-pressure discharge lamp (12), and a reflector lamp. The high-pressure discharge lamp has a discharge vessel (22, 61) enclosing a discharge space (24) which is provided with an ionizable filling comprising one or more halides. The discharge vessel is substantially constituted by a ceramic material (51, 52) having first and second end portions (33, 34). Current-supply conductors (44) issue through each end portion to respective electrodes (42) arranged in the discharge space (24) so as to maintain a discharge. At least one of the current-supply conductors is formed as a rod (44) comprising iridium. The rod is directly sealed to the ceramic material. Use of the iridium rod which is directly sealed to the ceramic material has the effect that the interface between the rod and the ceramic material is strong and substantially free from cracks, resulting in a longer lifetime of the high-pressure discharge lamp.
