Abstract
A lamp for providing visible radiation includes tellurium or a tellurium compound in the fill. This substance is present in an amount such that when the fill is excited with sufficient power, substantially all of the radiation resulting from tellurium is emitted at wavelengths exceeding 400 nm. When tellurium is added to a sulfur or selenium based lamp for emitting visible radition, the spectrum is shifted towards the red region.
