Abstract
A ceramic lamp in which the hermetically sealing bodies of electrically conductive cermet are sealed to hermetically sealed tube portions of the lamp vessel with a sealing material is arranged and provided with material components designed to give the hermetically sealing portions a high reliability. In particular, a lamp of a translucent ceramic has a lamp vessel which has a bulb portion and hermetically sealed tube portions which are connected to the bulb portion, and electrically conductive supply components in the bulb portion which have base parts inserted into the hermetically sealed bodies of electrically conductive cermet, is improved by seal welding of the hermetically sealing bodies of electrically conductive cermet on the hermetically sealed tube portion with a sealing material so that a hermetically sealed arrangement is produced in which, in the border area between the sealing material and the hermetically sealing body, an intermediate layer is formed in which components of the electrically conductive cermet of the hermetically sealing body are intermixed with components of the sealing materials.
