Abstract
Abstract A high-pressure mercury-vapor discharge device having improved ultraviolet output and maintenance of initial output during operation comprise a radiation-transmitting arc tube having a fill consisting of inert ionizable starting gas, a predetermined charge of mercury, iron, halogen (preferably iodine) as required to react with the iron to form ferrous halide, and stannic halide (preferably the iodide).
