The 1st side includes a 1st end with a 1st electrode, a 2nd end with a 2nd electrode and a middle section with a exhaust tube. Moreover, the combined metallic housing is composed of a plurality of metallic housing portions cut from an integrated metallic housing. The integrated metallic housing is composed of a base plate and a plurality of upright pieces bent upward at a right angle to the base plate, and having height close to the thickness of CCFFL. Furthermore, the plurality of metallic housing portions is formed by a plurality of base plate areas, adjacent to one another, cut from the base plate of the integrated metallic housing.
