ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for sealing and affixing a component assembly for an electrical lighting device to a glass lamp envelope. The assembly used in the process comprises the component, such as an electrode lead wire and a solder glass perform. The process is useful, for example, in hermetically sealing and affixing lamp components, such as electrical lead wires and exhaust tubulation, to a low pressure fluorescent discharge lamp envelope having phosphor coating already applied thereto. The present invention is particularly suitable for lamp envelope made of borosilicate glass having a CTE from 0 to 300° C. in the range of 30–45×10−7° C.−1.
