ABSTRACT:
A high intensity discharge lamp includes, within the outer envelope, a strip of niobium foil serially connected between a power source and one of the electrodes of the arc tube of the lamp. The foil is not a power consuming element but will oxidize and open the circuit, thus extinguishing the lamp, in the event the outer envelope is ruptured.
