Abstract

For HID lamps, and particularly high-pressure sodium-mercury HID lamps, the electron-emissive material portion of the lamp electrodes is a solid solution of dibarium calcium tungstate and dibarium calcium molybdate wherein the molar ratio of tungstate to molybdate is from 9:1 to 1:9. Emissive properties of the electrode are good and vapor pressure of emissive material is low.
