ABSTRACT:
A high pressure alkali metal vapor lamp envelope of alumina ceramic has an end closure which includes an externally projecting thin-walled metal tube serving as in inlead and as a reservoir for excess alkali metal. An electrode is mounted on a tungsten shank which projects into the metal tube and is locked in place by crimping the tube about it externally of the envelope. The crimping leaves restricted channels which allow passage of the alkali in vapor form but prevent its movement as a liquid.
