Abstract

A method for securing an electrode to the electrode holder in a high pressure sodium discharge lamp and resulting article, which method, involves spot welding a thin niobium, tantalum or titanium wire across the flattened end of the electrode holder and thereafter spot welding the electrode rod to the electrode holder perpendicular to the axis of the thin wire to provide a strong bond between the electrode and the electrode holder.
