Abstract

A fluorescent lamp characterized in that the charging tendency of a phosphor used is positioned more negative side than that of metal oxides each having a metal ion electronegativity X.sub.i of 7.0 but more positive side than that of metal oxides each having a metal ion electronegativity X.sub.i of 11.8, that particles of the phosphor are charged positive and smaller than 3.0 .mu.C per gram when they are in contact with soda lime glass beads each having a particle size of 200-500 .mu.m, or that they are charged negative and larger than -0.5 .mu.C per gram when they are in contact with reduced iron powder having a particle size of 44-74 .mu.m.
