PURPOSE:To improve the assembling workability by forming a series of outer shells with the first shell with its one end coupled with the bottom of a discharge lamp and the second shell with its one end coupled with the other end of the first shell and having a base on the other end. CONSTITUTION:A shell 17 is formed with the first shell 18 forming a shrunk rise section 20 in one body on one end side of a cylinder section 19 through a step section 23 and the second shell 16 provided with a coupled section 27 coupled with the peripheral section of the rise section 20 of the first shell 18 on one side and fitted with a base 33 on the other side. Therefore, the first shell 18 can be stuck to a discharge lamp 1 before electric parts such as a ballast 34 are assembled in the shell 17. In addition, since the ballast 34 is supported by the first shell 18 and a terminal plate 43 fitted with a glow starter 46, etc. is supported by the ballast 34, all the wiring works of the lighting circuit can be performed around the terminal 44 of the terminal plate 43 and before the second shell 26 is fitted. Accordingly, a wide work space can be available and the work can be facilitated. |
