Abstract
A low-pressure discharge lamp includes a bulb and a pair of bases attached to the end portions of the bulb, respectively. Each base has a base body fixed to the end of the bulb and a pair of terminals attached to the periphery of the base body. The terminals have contact portions which project from the periphery of the base body and include contact surfaces extending parallel to the axis of the bulb and facing the same direction. The contact surfaces are located so as to contact a common plane.
