A mount for a fluorescent lamp that comprises a glass base with spaced-apart lead-in wires (4,5) extending from therefrom. A longitudinal electrode coil (9) containing an emitter material is mounted upon and extends between the lead-in wires. A coating of zinc oxide (12) is provided on the ends of the electrode coil (9) and upon the lead-in wires (4,5) at least in the area where the electrode coil (9) is mounted.
