Low-pressure discharge lamp having an elongate discharge vessel which contains a thinly distributed filamentary body permeable to the gas discharge, said body comprising a helical support filament which is supported by the inner surface of the discharge vessel and is at least one further filament, supported by the support filament and extending therefrom towards the axis fo the discharge vessel.

Low-pressure gas discharge lamp and method for making

A method of producing a low-pressure gas discharge lamp in which a body of a solid material having a thin, structure of filaments permeable to the gas discharge such as glass wool is disposed. Coherence is given to the filaments by compressing them whereafter they are sucked into the lamp envelope. Compressing, knitting together and producing the wire-shaped elements is done in a funnel-shaped space which is connected at its constricted side to the tubular discharge space.
