Abstract

A bulb for an electrodeless lamp comprises: an envelope through which the light can be permeated; a filled material filled in the envelope for emitting the light as being excited by high frequency energy; and buffer gas, wherein the buffer gas comprises first buffer gas, and second buffer gas having a partial pressure less than 1% of the partial pressure of the first buffer gas in order to reduce a discharging voltage and lighting time, and thereby, the re-lighting after putting out the light can be performed easily and the re-lighting time is reduced to improve the convenience of the user and the reliability of electrodeless lamp.
