Abstract

A gas discharge lamp having a discharge vessel (202) which is at least partially transparent and filled with a gas filling, a number of essentially strip-shaped anodes (205, 206) and cathodes (203, 204) which extend on the walls of the discharge vessel and essentially parallel to each other, and a dielectric layer (215) between at least the anodes and the gas filling for a dielectrically impeded discharge in the discharge vessel between neighboring anodes and cathodes, characterized in that at least one anode pair (205) is arranged between two cathodes (203, 204) respectively adjacent to one anode pair.
