A lamp (100) having an enclosure with partitions (112) has channel segments and/or multiple directions for an electrical arc to travel. The channel segments can be implemented by adding additional electrodes (120) in a channel formed by the partitions, by forming a channel where the arc may travel in multiple directions, or by a combination of the methods. The channel segments and multiple directions of arc travel tend to reduce the voltage required to start the lamp (100).
