Then, when the discharge circulates into the container, the cathode fall voltage becomes large, so that the inner wall of the discharge lamp becomes black or the electrode has a short life. In particular, when the thermionic emission capability of the thermionic emitting portion is reduced, the discharge is likely to wrap around before the end of the life of the electrode, which promotes shortening of the lifetime.
