ABSTRACT:
A compact fluorescent lamp system includes a housing. An external base connector is mounted in the housing. The external base connector receives electrical power from an external source. A ballast unit is secured within the housing and electrically connected to the external base connector. The ballast unit controls the electrical power received from the external source. The compact fluorescent lamp system also includes a lamp unit. The lamp unit includes an amalgam ball pellet within the lamp unit, first and second lamp electrodes extending into the lamp unit, and a gas which breaks-down, permitting an electrical current to pass through the lamp unit. An inside wall of the lamp unit is coated with a material which fluoresces when the gas within the sealed lamp unit ionizes. The lamp unit also includes an extended wire connection having a first end electrically connected to one of the first and second lamp electrodes and a second end located near another point on the lamp unit. A breakdown voltage path within the lamp unit is favorably modified by the extended wire connection.
