Abstract
The current leadthrough for the auxiliary electrode of a discharge lamp with ceramic lamp vessel is constructed as a cylindrical tube concentric with the leadthrough of the main electrode. The cylindrical tube which serves as a current leadthrough can extend in the lamp vessel and serve itself as an auxiliary electrode. This construction avoids cracking of the lamp vessel. Niobium and tantalum, tungsten molybdenum, rhenium and alloys thereof may be used for the current leadthrough.
