Devices and methods relating to insulation-free lead wires in compact fluorescent lamps are provided. For example, there is provided a compact fluorescent lamp including at least two lead wires. Each of the lead wires can be connected to a respective cathode of a respective discharge tube. The compact fluorescent lamp further includes a ballast circuit. The lead wires are isolated from one another without any insulation.

The means for producing pulsed ultraviolet (UV) radiation with a continuous spectrum is disclosed for the purposes of disinfection and sterilization. A method for generating high-intensity pulses of UV radiation using a current source involves forming a constricted arc discharge in an interelectrode gap of a discharge channel of a xenon pulsed lamp having quartz walls, and then supplying to said channel, by means of a discharge circuit switcher, a pulse of a main discharge having a current density sufficient for the brightness temperatures of the plasma in the discharge channel to reach more than 7000 K, thereby generating a pulse of radiation with a continuous spectrum, wherein the geometric parameters of the discharge channel are related to the parameters of the discharge circuit by a given ratio. The method is carried out using a corresponding device.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an irradiation unit and a lamp unit in which the risk of damaging a lamp is reduced due to simplified replacement of the lamp. The present invention includes: a lamp unit on which an excimer lamp is mounted, the excimer lamp having a light-emitting tube that extends in a first direction and a first electrode and a second electrode that are arranged to face each other in a radial direction of the light-emitting tube; and a housing which accommodates the excimer lamp due to the lamp unit being inserted therein, the lamp unit includes a plate material, a restriction member which protrudes from a first main surface and restricts movement of the excimer lamp inside the housing, and a power supply portion that is disposed on a second main surface side of the plate material positioned outside of the housing and that supplies electric power to the excimer lamp when the plate material closes an insertion opening.
