Abstract
A coated, labeled fluorescent lamp wherein the label is applied prior to coating, and wherein after labeling, the label, glass tube and portion of the end caps are covered with a coating material which is heated to form a tough, smooth, uninterrupted light-transmitting coating. The coating preferably bonds to the label to provide tamper resistance for the label, in addition to containment of shattered glass and lamp contents in the event of breakage of the lamp.
