A compact flourescent lamp assembly includes a triple bend lamp and a first housing including a ballast and a screw-in base for use with an incandescent fixture. A second housing, attached to the lamp, includes a glow switch and starting capacitor. The triple bend lamp is fabricated from a previously completed elongate lamp.

A glass mercury dispenser for inclusion within an arc discharge lamp is surrounded by a particle shield to catch shards when the capsule is subsequently ruptured.

Mercury dispenser for discharge lamps

A mount for an arc discharge lamp has a cathode thereon which is encircled by a disintegration shield. There is a gap in the shield and a mercury-containing glass capsule disposed proximate the gap. The capsule is supported on the shield by means of an axial wire in the capsule extending beyond both ends of the capsule and welded to the shield. A crack in the glass permits the mercury in the capsule to develop a vapor pressure in the lamp.
