ABSTRACT:
A high pressure alkali metal vapor lamp envelope of alumina ceramic having wire inleads sealed into opposite ends and no external amalgam reservoir, has an internal amalgam retention compartment for reducing sensitivity to shock and vibration. The compartment is formed by a metal partition substantially coextensive with the end wall and spaced from it a distance within the range of capillary attraction for the amalgam used. A preferred construction uses for the partition an apertured niobium disc fitting snugly in the alumina arc tube.
