FLUORESCENT LAMP AND CONNECTING SYSTEM OF FLUORESCENT LAMP

摘要

It is an object to provide a fluorescent lamp and a connecting system of a fluorescent lamp characterized in that: the fluorescent lamp can be assembled without use of complicated brazing work; the reliability of the electrical connection of the fluorescent lamp is high; and assembly work for attaching the fluorescent lamp can be easily automatized. A glass tube of a fluorescent lamp has a filament for supplying electric power at its end portion and a metallic cap is provided at an end portion of the glass tube. The metallic cap includes a first electrode and a second electrode. Both electrodes are respectively formed into a cylindrical shape made of a conductive material, such as metal and concentrical to each other. End portions of the filament are respectively inserted into electrodes and connected to filament connecting portions by means of brazing or caulking.
