Abstract: In various embodiments, a high-pressure discharge lamp is provided. The high-pressure discharge lamp may include a discharge vessel which is accommodated in a tubular outer bulb, wherein a major part of the outer bulb is closely surrounded by a transparent sleeve composed of highly heat-resistant plastic.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide an electric high-pressure lamp with a base at one end, with a wattage of at most 100 W and with a discharge vessel which is sealed in a vacuum-tight manner, said discharge vessel being surrounded by an inner bulb and furthermore by an outer bulb, a base with electrical terminals supporting the outer bulb on one side and the inner bulb on the other side, wherein an effective axial length of the inner bulb is defined as the length of said inner bulb without the ends, with the following geometrical relations with respect to the length being maintained: the volume VH of a hollow cylinder extending between the inner bulb and the outer bulb is given by 8 cm3?VH?15 cm3; the impact quality IG, defined as the product of the clear width between the inner bulb and the outer bulb and the square of the wall thickness of the outer bulb, in each case calculated in mm, is at least 8 mm3, with the result that the following applies: 8?IG.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a high-pressure discharge lamp is provided. The high-pressure discharge lamp may include an elongated discharge vessel that is accommodated in a tubular outer bulb which is held at one end in a base, the outer bulb being surrounded by a second outer bulb, wherein the second outer bulb is fastened in the region of the base.
