Zusammenfassung: | A discharge lamp comprises a discharge vessel 20 defining a sealed inner discharge space 22 with two electrodes 24. A filling consists of a rare gas and a metal halide composition and is free of mercury. The discharge vessel 20 comprises outer grooves 36 where the electrodes 24 are embedded, arranged at a groove distance Ra between them. The discharge vessel 20 further comprises an inner diameter ID. In operation of the lamp, an arc discharge is formed between the electrodes and the metal halide composition is partly evaporated. After operation of the lamp, the metal halide composition forms a film on the inner wall of the discharge vessel 20. This film has a surface area AS measured in mm2. The metal halide composition is provided in such an amount within the discharge space 22, that a matching quotient Q, calculated as Q=Ra×ID/AS has a value of 2 or more, such that a high color temperature is achieved. |
