Abstract
A fluorescent lamp dissipates heat from the lamp tube to a vented air stream within a lamp globe and to ambient air outside of the lamp. The lamp apparatus includes a base that mounts and provides electric current to a fluorescent illumination tube, a vented lamp globe and a thermally conductive heat dissipater engaged with the illumination tube. The heat dissipater thermally conducts heat from the illumination tube and transfers the heat to an air current within the lamp globe. A mounting element mounts the lamp globe and the heat dissipater with the base.
