Abstract

A gas discharge lamp base (1) with a starting device has a carrier part (16) for electronic components (23 through 30) of the starting device. The carrier part (16) has a top side and a bottom side. Only high voltage-carrying components (23 through 26) of the starting device are arranged on the one side of the carrier part (16), and only low voltage-carrying components (27 through 30) of the starting device are arranged on the other side (low voltage side) of the carrier part (16).
