れる。However, in order to use discharge lamps as a substitute for incandescent light bulbs, miniaturization and weight reduction of the discharge lamp itself are essential factors, but in the conventional configuration described above, inductive stability is Since a container is used, it is not always satisfactory in terms of weight reduction. Therefore, it may be possible to use other current limiting elements such as resistors or capacitors instead of the inductive ballast to reduce the weight. However, in this case, the generation of induction kick pressure due to the operation of the glow starter cannot be expected, so the starting characteristics of the discharge lamp become extremely poor. Furthermore, when a resistor is used as a current-limiting element, there are drawbacks such as complicated countermeasures against the heat generated by the power dissipated by the resistor and a large number of restrictions on use. is expected.
この発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたもので。This invention was made in view of the above points.

The object of the present invention is to provide a low-pressure discharge lamp that is compact, lightweight, and easy to use, in which heat countermeasures for a single current-limiting resistor are simplified without impairing the starting characteristics of the lamp.

とになる。Next, the operation of the low pressure discharge lamp of the above embodiment will be described. When the power supply voltage is applied to the glow starter (171), the glow starter a'0 opens the preheating circuit with the electrodes (31, (4) sufficiently preheated. At this moment, for convenience, the auxiliary electrode (
When the electrode (3) to which 151 is connected has a positive potential, a power supply voltage is applied between the auxiliary electrode α9 and the other electrode (4) with the auxiliary electrode α9 serving as the anode and the electrode (4) serving as the cathode. be done. In other words, since an extremely high potential gradient is formed between the auxiliary electrode (L5 and the other electrode (4) compared to that of the two electrodes f3) and +4), the potential gradient between the other electrode (4) and the auxiliary electrode α is Insulation breakdown easily occurs due to power supply voltage. Subsequently, this dielectric breakdown causes dielectric breakdown between one electrode (3) and the auxiliary electrode 01, which causes both electrodes (3),
During (4), regular discharge occurs and the discharge lamp lights up.
この際補助極α1を通して流れる電流は抵抗体αQによ

1) Heat is easily dissipated into the free space outside.
しかも限流用抵抗体a1で消費される電力の大半が光に

きる。Furthermore, since most of the power consumed by the current limiting resistor a1 is converted into light, the effect of increasing the light output of the discharge lamp can be expected.
