Abstract
An improved design and method and of manufacturing a luminous tube electrode comprises the steps of placing an electrode shell in an outer tube and allowing conductors connected to the electrode shell to emanate from an open end of the outer tube. A tubulation with a flared end is then butted up against the end of the outer tube, thereby sandwiching the conductors between the flared end of the tubulation and the outer tube. The flared end of the tubulation are then fused to one another forming a hermetic seal between each other and the conductors, resulting in the finished electrode. A further provision is made to blow a bubble in the tubulation.
