ABSTRACT:
A high pressure discharge lamp with a starting circuit contained therein includes an arc tube provided with a pair of opposed electrodes at the hermetically sealed opposite ends thereof. The interior of the arc tube is filled with at least a luminous metal and gas. The discharge lamp further includes a series circuit consisting of a thermo-responsive switch and a resistor and shunted to the electrodes of the arc tube, and an outer envelope for containing therein the series circuit and the arc tube. The resistance value of the resistor is set such that a sufficient current to induce a pulse of higher voltage than the starting voltage flows through the series circuit while, on the other hand, the current flowing through the series circuit is substantially equal to or less than the lamp current during the stable state of the lamp.
