Abstract
A luminescent beryllium-containing silicate activated by bivalent europium defined by the formula Me.sub.1-x Eu.sub.x Be.sub.a Si.sub.a O.sub.3a+1, in which 0.005 .ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.20 and a has the value 1 or 2 and in which Me represents at least one of the alkaline earth metals barium, strontium and calcium. If a = 2 at least 50 gram-atomic % of Me is strontium. If a = 1 up to 25 gram.atomic % of Be together with the same quantity of Si may be replaced by an equiatomic quantity of Al. The luminescent silicate is preferably used in mercury vapor discharge lamps.
