Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the color rendering and the color temperature of a sodium lamp by sealing sodium as a luminous material and in addition to mercury an amount of one kind of specified metal as a metal as a metal for buffer gas in a luminous tube provided with electrodes on both ends so as that the sealed metal is fully evaporated during the lighting period. CONSTITUTION:Sodium as a luminous material and in addition to mercury at least one kind of galium Ga, bismuth Bi and antimony Sb as a metal for buffer gas are sealed in a luminous tube 1 provided with electrodes 2, 3 on both ends, and the total amount of the sealed metal in the tube is determined so as that the said metal is fully evaporated during the lighting period. Hence the luminous spectra in short wave length side are increased. Thereby the mean color rendering evaluation number Ra and the color temperature can be improved under the same electric characteristics.
