Abstract
This invention provides a small metal halide lamp which has a power input of 100 W or less, provided with: an arc tube having a pair of electrodes spaced apart from each other and containing a rare gas, mercury, sodium halide and scandium halide therein; and an envelope for housing the arc tube. The mixing ratio of sodium halide to scandium halide based on weight is 3:1 to 10:1, and the total content of the sodium halide and the scandium halide is 10 to 40 mg per unit volume (cc) of the arc tube. At least one phospor selected from the group consisting of a manganese-activated magnesium fluorogermanate phosphor and a cerium-activated yttrium aluminate phosphor is applied to the inner surface of the envelope. In addition, a green-emitting phosphor is preferably coated on the inner surface of the envelope.
