Abstract

A low-wattage mercury lamp (figure 1) is provided for use with existing 110V high frequency electronic ballasts. The lamp has a discharge sustain fill (22) of mercury and an inert gas mixture of krypton and argon that does not require a starting aid. The phosphor layer (16) has a coating weight of 2.0-3.9 mg/cm2.
