2-3-425

A discharge lamp in which the distance between the electrodes is large.


Note: This type of lamp (xenon, for example) is generally of extra high pressure. The arc fills the discharge tube and is therefore stabilized.

Reference: C.I.E.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
