Abstract
To reduce the axial length of high-power, high-pressure discharge lamps, for example between 1000-4000 W rating, while reducing the temperature, in operation, of a connection foil (8) adjacent the base ends of the foil, the discharge vessel (2) of quartz glass has two shaft-like extensions (5) unitary therewith, in which the connection foils are pinch or press-sealed. The lengths of the pinch or press seals are major fractions of the length of the discharge of the discharge vessel, for example between 2/3 and 4/3 thereof, and the connection foil extends over a major portion of the length of the shaft-like extension, for example between 60-80%. Such pinch seals are made by differentially, over its length, heating the shaft-like extension (5).
