Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a discharge lamp able to be operated at less than full rated power without suffering undesirable color shift, loss of lumen maintenance or loss of lamp efficacy. It finds particular application in connection with ceramic metal halide lamps having a low dose level of thallium iodide and optionally indium iodide, e.g. less than 1 mol %, in the dose thereof.
