Abstract
A high pressure discharge lamp having an extended life includes a discharge vessel 8, and a feedthrough 10 extending through a plug 11. A directly sintered connection is formed between the feedthrough 10 and the plug 11 wherein sealing material 7 is provided covering the area surrounding the feedthrough on the outer surface of the plug 11. The plug 11 is formed of a composite material whose thermal expansion coefficient lies between that of the ceramic vessel and of the metal feedthrough.
