Popis:	High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) cover a wide range of applications. However, HID lamps contain mercury. For lower environmental pollution mercury-free HID lamps are under investigation. This article reports experimental results substituting mercury by noble gases. Lamps with neon, argon, and xenon are compared with a mercury containing pendant. In contrast to one-component plasmas containing only one of the elements Hg, Ne, Ar or Xe, multicomponent plasmas containing additionally TlI and TmI3 show a completely different behavior of their electrical and photometric properties, which are discussed.
