The invention relates to a blended light lamp (1) having an incandescent
lamp (2) and a gas discharge lamp (3), a rectifier (4), an energy storage
means (5) and an ignition device (6). The high-pressure discharge has an
operating voltage of 180 V, which can be achieved by filling a discharge
vessel of the gas discharge lamp (3) with, in particular, an amount of
mercury of 153 micromole/cm.sup.3. In this way a high total luminous flux
can be obtained in the operating state.
