ABSTRACT:
A high-pressure sodium discharge lamp comprising a discharge vessel (3) provided with an external auxiliary electrode (11) and a built-in electric starting circuit including an electric circuit comprising a transformer winding (35a), a capacitor (33) and a semiconductor switching element (34). The circuit is connected in series with a resistor (32) electrically parallel to the discharge vessel (3) and with the transformer (35) electrically connected to the external auxiliary electrode (11). The semiconductor switching element (34) is an uncontrolled voltage-dependent breakdown element of the thyristor type having a breakdown current smaller than 1 mA at a breakdown time shorter than 10 .mu.s. The resultant lamp starts very reliably and its build-in starter dissipates only a very low power.
