Abstract: The invention relates to a compact low-pressure discharge lamp (1) comprising a discharge vessel (3) with electrodes and power supply leads (7), a discharge vessel mount on which the discharge vessel is mounted, and a cap (10), which comprises a housing (11), connecting contacts (12) and a mounting plate (13) with a ballast apparatus (15), with the mounting plate being fitted with the ballast arrangement in the interior of the cap housing, and having connections for electrical connection of the mounting plate to the power supply leads and to the connecting contacts. The discharge vessel mount in this case comprises a plate (5) which is mounted in a further mount, with the further mount in turn being mounted on the housing of the cap. The further mount may be in the form of an enveloping bulb (2) or a reflector for the discharge vessel, or in the form of a closure cap (20) for the cap housing.

The discharge vessel mount (5) has an essentially H-shaped cross section and includes a plate (4) with collars (9, 18) running on the edge of each side of the plate. Both the housing (13) of the cap (12) and the cover part, which is in the form of an enveloping bulb (2), a reflector or a closure cap, are mounted on this H-shaped discharge vessel mount (5).
