Abstract: A single-ended arc discharge vessel for a metal halide lamp includes a U-shaped arc discharge chamber that has two juxtaposed subchambers with a divider wall therebetween and a passageway around the divider wall that connects the two subchambers to each other. The vessel has two parallel electrodes in a same end of the vessel that is opposite the passageway. Each of the electrodes extends into a respective one of the two subchambers a distance less than a height of the divider wall so that the arc discharge between the electrodes is U-shaped. This arrangement moves the vessel cold spot away from the electrodes to permit higher operating temperatures and increases arc gap length for a given vessel size to permit a higher lamp voltage.
