Abstract
To prevent ion migration from a discharge vessel (4) into an evacuated sp between the discharge vessel and an outer bulb (1), a shield wire (13) is interposed between the current supply lead (12) extending longitudinally within the outer bulb and the discharge vessel (4), and both the shield wire (13) and the current supply (12) are insulated by a high dielectric insulating material. A suitable material is a ceramic, like Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 or Ba.sub.2 TiO.sub.4, for example, as a single ceramic body with ducts for, respectively, the current supply lead (12) and the shielding wire (13), or, alternatively, to form separate ceramic sleeves (17, 18).
