ABSTRACT:
A high-pressure sodium discharge lamp provided with a solid electrode consisting mainly of tungsten plus a small quantity of rhenium, and free of alkaline earth metals. The addition of rhenium suppresses sodium attack which caused the tip end of the electrode to break off before the desired lamp life was reached.
