Abstract
A gaseous tritium light source (GTLS), which has a hermetically sealed outer sleeve made of glass, more particularly borosilicate glass. A high durability and lighting intensity is produced due to the fact that at least some sections of the outer sleeve have an outer coating applied directly to the outer surface of the outer sleeve serving as a reflective layer made of a metal, wherein the outer coating has an epitaxial structure and wherein the metal has a reflectance of >70% for visible light.
