Abstract

The present application discloses high intensity discharge (“HID”) lamps, arc tubes, and methods of manufacture. The application relates to HID lamps, arc tubes, and methods of manufacture wherein a precise amount of fill gas may be contained in the light-emitting chamber of the arc tube so that the pressure of the fill gas contained in the arc tube at substantially room temperature may be precisely controlled at pressures greater than about one-half atmosphere.
