Zusammenfassung:An electrodeless low-pressure discharge lamp (10) which comprises a discharge vessel (12), a means for exciting discharge, an UV-to-visible-converting layer (32) and an UV reflecting layer (34). The discharge vessel (12) encloses a gas-tight discharge cavity (14) containing an ionizable fill. The discharge vessel (12) has a light-transmitting bulb portion (16) and a reentrant tube (18) protruding into the discharge cavity (14), and the bulb portion (16) and the reentrant tube (18) each exhibits a surface (21, 20) facing to the discharge cavity (14). The means for exciting discharge is arranged at least partially in the reentrant tube (18). The UV-to-visible-converting layer (32) is applied only to said surface (21) of the bulb portion (16), while the UV reflecting layer (34) is applied to said surface (20) of the reentrant tube (18).
