ABSTRACT:
A single-sealed metal-vapor discharge lamp forms a press sealed portion on one end to seal in a discharge space starting noble gas, light emission metal, and mercury. The discharge lamp has a pair of electrodes with bent portions whose tip ends are bent opposite to each other in the discharge space; a pair of inner metallic foil conductors, to each one end of which the proximal ends of the electrodes are joined; and an arc tube enclosing a pair of internal lead wires, each one end of which is joined to the other end of the inner metallic foil conductors. The electrodes which are arranged approximately parallel in the arc tube. A bend angle .theta. of the bent portions arc is 60.degree..ltoreq..theta..ltoreq.120.degree., and the curvature radius R of the periphery of the bent portions is approximately R.gtoreq.1.2d (where, d is wire diameter of the electrode rod).
