Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure safety for a fluorescent lamp free from provision of any insulated base at the end pipe, against high voltage by filling up an electrical insulative material in the void between a thermo-contractive insulating member for covering the end pipe and a thermo-contractive insulating tube for covered electric wire. CONSTITUTION:An electrical insulative lead 23 is connected with an outer lead 22 protruding from an end pipe 21 of a fluorescent lamp 20, and this joint part is covered and insulated with a thermo-contractive insulating tube 25 for covered electric wire. A thermo-contractive insulating member 26 for covering the end pipe is furnished as surrounding the insulative tube 25 and end pipe 21, and inside of this member 26 is filled with a fluid insulative material 27 chiefly containing silicone, which is cured. Accordingly there is no exposed part of leads 22, 23 to increase the dielectric strength. This precludes risk for high voltage and secures the safety.
