  • the ignitability must be guaranteed throughout its lifetime.
  • the disclosure of the invention describes a solution which ensures reliable ignition for high-pressure discharge lamps.
  • the invention is based on the surprising finding that a corona discharge in the surrounding gas can already be produced at a suitably constructed auxiliary ignition arrangement at low ignition voltages, with the aid of which the actual discharge is ignited in the discharge vessel.
  • the previously known ignition aids equally whether electrically conductively connected to an electrode or capacitively coupled, on the other hand induce a dielectric barrier discharge within the discharge vessel and to require higher ignition voltages than Inventive ⁇ perform as intended.
  • a discharge in the outer bulb can be produced by the contact of a power supply with the outer bulb filling gas, all other metallic components being insulated from the outer bulb gas.

Particularly in a discharge vessel made of quartz glass, this distance is, however, difficult to produce reproduction ⁇ ible.
