- the surface area of the discharge vessel 2 facing the contact wire 26 is provided with a light-transmitting, electrically conductive ignition aid layer 30. This extends approximately in the lamp longitudinal direction over the entire length of the discharge space 8 and about 5 to 50% in the circumferential direction around the discharge vessel 2.
- the material and the embodiment of the Zündanges Mrs 30 corresponds for example to that in the above-mentioned document DE 10 2006 007 218 AI.
- the discharge vessel 2 is encompassed with its pinch ends 4, 6 and the discharge space 8 of a glass, translucent tubular outer bulb 32 existing. At its sockelfernen end portion of the outer bulb 32 with the squeeze end 4 by a curl and at his ⁇ near end near the base with the extension 22 of the discharge vessel 2 by a constriction gas-tight merged. Between the discharge vessel 2 and the outer bulb 32 thus a gas-tight outer space 34 is formed in which, for example, air is introduced.
- the pressure in the outer space 34 is less than a ⁇ StandardatmospPS rend ruck with about 1013 mbar and more preferably 300 to 400 mbar, or preferably 150 to 250 mbar. Un ⁇ ter these pressure conditions, the air in the outer space 34 additionally used as a starting aid in addition to the Zündos Mrs 30.
- an insulation ⁇ layer 36 applied. This extends approximately over the entire circumferential area of the discharge vessel 2 arranged within the outer space 34.
- the insulating layer 36 also protects the auxiliary ignition layer 30 from de ⁇ generation.
- the insulating layer 36 is produced in a cold process, in order to avoid that the temperaturempfind ⁇ Liche Zündos Mrs 30 is damaged by high temperatures during manufacture.

- By this method grows within seconds on the discharge vessel 2 tightly adherent and few nanometers di ⁇ blocks quartz glass layer as an insulating layer 36. This is due to the small thickness extremely elastic and therefore insensitive to mechanical stresses.
- the process takes place at a temperature of less than 100 ° C.
- the ignition voltage of the high-pressure discharge lamp increases with increasing filling pressure of the introduced in the discharge space 8 filling gas.
- the Zündstik 30 and the filling gas in the outer space 34 is provided.
- the for igniting the high pressure discharge lamp REQUIRED ⁇ chen high voltage pulses are supplied to the base-side electrode 12 via the power feeder 20, as this is encompassed completely by the discharge vessel 2 together with the extension 22 and the base 24, which leading an excellent electric insulation of the high tensioning ⁇ voltage parts the high pressure discharge lamp 1 ⁇ ensured ge.
- the high-voltage pulses mentioned are generated, for example, by means of a pulse ignition device whose components can be arranged in the lamp base 24.
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 from FIG. 1 when an ignition voltage is applied. In this case, a positive ignition pulse is applied to the lower electrode 12 in FIG.
- the filling gas forms in the outer space 34 between the Wennkol ⁇ ben 32 and the discharge vessel 2 by the ignition pulse to an electrically conductive layer or a plasma 37 at a peripheral portion of the discharge vessel 2 from.
- the plasma 37 extends asymmetrically around the discharge vessel 2 in the region of the discharge space 8 and the lower crimp end 6 in FIG. 2 and is shown in dashed lines.
- the plasma 37 has the same effect as the Zündostik 30 and thus forms together with the lower electrode 12 in Figure 2 a capacitor.
- 37 photoelectrons are formed by the plasma due to a UV emission, which serve as Startelekt ⁇ rons for the discharge arc between the electrodes 10, 12.
- a disadvantage of the plasma 37 in the outer space 34 is that it can only occur under a lower pressure compared to the standard atmospheric pressure. Equals the pressure in the outer space 34, for example due to cracks in the outer bulb 32 that occur during manufacture, is the external pressure, then no plasma 37 is formed when an ignition voltage is applied to the high-pressure discharge lamp 1. However, since the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 as an ignition aid has zusharm ⁇ Lich the Zündostik 30, even with a not forming plasma 37, the firing voltage is lowered, which ensures a high operating reliability of the high pressure discharge lamp. 1 The insulation results in layer 36 in this case acts only as protection ⁇ layer which protects the Zündistik 30 from degeneration.
- Figure 3 illustrates in a side view illustrates the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 of Figure 1, in which an ignition voltage is applied with a negative ignition pulse to the near-socket electric ⁇ de that corresponds in Figure 2, the electrode 12.
- the plasma 37 forms on the outer circumference of the upper crimp end 4 of the discharge vessel 2.
- the electrically conductive plasma 37 thus provides, together with the Zündos Mrs 30 an asymmetric ignition aid available.
- FIG. 4 shows a side view of the high-pressure discharge lamp 1 according to a second exemplary embodiment.
- the Zündzstik 30 is installed ⁇ tet differently. This has here an upper and lower legs 38 and 40, each along a squeezing 4 or 6 extend.
- the legs 38 and 40 are arranged approximately in the region between the molybdenum foils 14 and 16 and extending along the discharge vessel 2 contact wire 26 in the lamp longitudinal direction on the squeezing 4 and 6 and surround these sections in the circumferential direction.
- the Zündyll 30 is on a surface of a transition region 42 and 44 between a respective crimp end 4 and 6 and the discharge space 8 comprising the central region of the discharge vessel 2.
- the transition regions 42 and 44 are annular groove-like, with the Zündostik 30 then over the entire circumference of the transition regions 42, 44 extends.
- the Zündystik according to the second embodiment of the invention thus has a arranged in the discharge space layer portion 30, two arranged in the ringnutierin transition areas layer sections 42, 44 and two on the Quet ⁇ ends 4, 6 arranged layer sections 38, 40.
- the aforementioned layer sections form a related ignition aid layer.
- the Zündos slaughter 30 formed in the figure 1 has a smaller area compared to the layer portion 30 of the Zündos slaughter from the figure 4. As a result, a larger-area distribution of the plasma 37 around the outer circumference of the discharge vessel 2 is made possible.
