Abstract
A flat form gas discharge lamp for illuminating a defined area includes a plurality of adjacent spaced apart substantially parallel channels extending across the defined area. The first channels are substantially co-planar with one another, and a plurality of second channels interconnecting end portions of respective pairs of the first channels to form a single confined region such that the first channels confine an ionizable medium for producing light under influence of an electric discharge. The second channels are substantially co-planar with one another while not being co-planar with the first channels.
