To prevent corrosion of molybdenum connecting pins or wires extending from melt-sealed ends of high-power lamps, the region immediately adjacent the exit points from the melt-sealed end are cooled by a cooling gas, for example air or an inert gas such as nitrogen. The cooling gas is applied by cooling ducts which are made of metal and, simultaneously, provide for electrical connection of electrical energy to the connecting leads. Cooling gas can be introduced either through terminal pins or rods into the tubular elements, or the tubular elements can be connected, as usual, to the part-solid terminal pins or rods and additional gas connections are passed through the base through the tubular elements to supply cooling gas.
