<p>A glow discharge lamp includes a light-transmitting envelope (10) containing a noble gas fill material. An anode electrode (18) and a cathode electrode (16) are spacedly located within the envelope (10). The anode electrode (18) includes a single wire (26) having a convoluted portion (28) adjacent the cathode electrode (16) and lying in a plane parallel to a plane intersecting the cathode electrode (16) and a pair of lead-in wires (20, 22) supporting the cathode electrode (16). The improved anode construction results in an increase in both light output and lamp efficacy.</p> |
