<p>A dielectric barrier discharge lamp comprises multiple tubular discharge vessels (10) of a substantially equivalent size and having a principal axis. Each discharge vessel (10) encloses a discharge volume (13) filled with a discharge gas. The discharge vessels (10) are arranged parallel to their principal axis and adjacent to each other. The lamp also comprises a first set of interconnected electrodes (16,18) and a second set of interconnected electrodes (16,18). The electrodes (16,18) are isolated from the discharge volume (13) by at least one dielectric layer. At least one of the dielectric layers is constituted by the wall of the discharge vessel (10), and the electrodes (16,18) of at least one electrode set are located between the discharge vessels (10). In one embodiment, the discharge vessels (10) are adjacent to each other in a lattice, and the first and second electrode sets are located between the discharge vessels (10) in interstitial voids of the lattice. In another embodiment, the discharge vessels (10) are arranged adjacent to each other along generatrices of a prism.
