Abstract
A compact fluorescent lamp comprises a plastic housing. The plastic housing includes a plastic cap and a plastic shell. A discharge tube extends from the plastic housing through openings formed in the plastic cap. The compact fluorescent lamp further comprises a tubulation which contains amalgam material and communicates with the discharge tube. A heat conducting means is integrally formed with the plastic housing which is suitable for receiving a heat conductive material forming a thermal bridge towards the tubulation.
