Abstract
Low-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp having a discharge vessel (1, 2, 3) which contains with mercury and a rare gas and is of such a shape that the ends of the discharge vessel where the electrodes (4, 5) are arranged are in a side-by-side relationship, these ends being connected to a lamp base (8) which has an axially projecting sleeve-shaped wall portion (12) of a cross-section which deviates from the circular and in which at least a starter (13) is included, a respective connecting pin (10, 11) which is shorter than the length of the projecting wall portion being provided on either side of the said projecting wall portion. The projecting portion serves as a locating guide when inserting the lamp base in a holder (15), thereby inter alia preventing damage to the pins, and also serves as a housing for a starter switch (13) and a capacitor (14).
