For example, better color consistency can be achieved by regulating the lamp power versus changes in lamp lamp voltage or the mains voltage can be guaranteed and a cessation of light flickering is eliminated become.
- a high-pressure discharge lamp according to the preamble of claim 1 and a Operating methods according to the preamble of claim 3 are for example in European laid-open publications EP 1 045 622 A2 and EP 0 908 926 A2 disclosed.
- the first-mentioned publication describes a ballast for Operation of a mercury-free metal halide high-pressure discharge lamp with a rectangular alternating current with a frequency between 50 Hz and 5 kHz.
- the other laid-open publication discloses a high pressure metal halide discharge lamp with a filling based on sodium and scandium, which with Rectangular pulses of 270 Hz is operated.
- the high-pressure discharge lamp according to the invention has a discharge vessel with a discharge medium enclosed therein and cylindrical electrodes for generating a gas discharge in the discharge medium.
- the diameter of the electrodes is such that when the lamp is operated with its specified nominal power and with a substantially rectangular alternating current during the stable operating state of the high-pressure discharge lamp after the ignition phase has ended, the product of the current density in the electrodes and the cube root of the effective value of the AC has a constant value in the range between 5 A 4/3 mm -2 and 10 A 4/3 mm -2 .
- the above range specification for the aforementioned product means an instruction for dimensioning the diameter of the cylindrical electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp according to the invention , Only when the product of the current density in the electrodes and the cubic root of the effective value of the alternating current has a constant value in the range between 5 A 4/3 mm -2 and 10 A 4/3 mm -2 , is the blackening of the lamp vessel during operation the high pressure discharge lamp with a rectangular alternating current minimal.
- the electrode diameter of the lamp is dimensioned such that the product has a value smaller than 5 A 4/3 mm -2 , then an increased blackening of the lamp vessel occurs due to the increased sputtering of electrode material. If, however, the lamp electrodes are dimensioned such that the aforementioned product assumes a value greater than 10 A 4/3 mm -2 , there is an increased blackening of the lamp vessel due to the increased evaporation of electrode material.

- the electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp are designed as cylindrical pins which consist of a high-melting metal, for example of tungsten.
- the thickness or the diameter of the pins is dimensioned such that when the lamp is operated with its nominal power and with a substantially rectangular alternating current during the stable operating state of the high-pressure discharge lamp after the ignition phase has ended, the product of the current density in the electrodes and the cube root of the effective value of the alternating current has a constant value between 5 A 4/3 mm -2 and 10 A 4/3 mm -2 , in order to ensure as little blackening of the lamp vessel as possible during operation.
- the electrodes of the high-pressure discharge lamp each consist of a cylindrical electrode pin which carries an electrode coil arranged coaxially to the electrode pin at its discharge end.
- the diameter of the electrode pin is dimensioned such that when the lamp is operated with an essentially rectangular alternating current during the stable operating state of the high-pressure discharge lamp after the ignition phase has ended, the product of the current density in the electrodes and the cubic root the effective value of the alternating current has a constant value between 5 A 4/3 mm -2 and 10 A 4/3 mm -2 .

If a lower rectangular alternating current is applied to the electrodes, so that the above product assumes a smaller value than 5 A 4/3 mm -2 , then increased blackening of the lamp vessel occurs due to sputtering electrode material. On the other hand, if a higher rectangular alternating current is applied to the electrodes so that the above product assumes a value greater than 10 A 4/3 mm -2 , then evaporating electrode material causes an increased blackening of the lamp vessel.
- the frequency of the rectangular alternating current is advantageously one Value between 50 Hz and 500 Hz. Problems can occur at higher frequencies occur with acoustic resonances in the discharge medium. In addition, at higher Frequencies require complex electronics. At too low frequencies however, a flickering of the discharge arc of the lamp can be seen become.

- Curve 1 On the horizontal axis of the diagram of Figure 2 is the effective value of the lamp current and on the vertical axis (in logarithmic Scale) the blackening of the discharge vessel in each case in relative Units applied.
- the minimum of the blackening of the discharge vessel occurs when operating high-pressure discharge lamps that are empirically optimized for the slightest decrease in luminous flux during their service life on sinusoidal, line-frequency alternating current, especially when these lamps are charged with their nominal current.
- the product of the current density in the electrodes and the cubic root of the effective value of the alternating current has a constant value greater than 10 A 4/3 mm -2 .
- the current density in the electrodes is set according to the invention such that the product of the current density in the electrodes and the cubic root of the effective value of the alternating current has a constant value between 5 A 4/3 mm -2 and 10 A has 4/3 mm -2 .
