The lamp has a number of strip-shaped anode and cathode electrodes (5,6;3,4) extending parallel to one another within the gas discharge envelope (2), with a gas discharge impeding dielectric layer (15) between the anodes and the gas filling. The gas discharge envelope has a base and cover plate (7,8) held together by a peripheral frame (9), with solder providing a gas-tight seal between them, the electrodes and their associated current leads (13,14) provided by conductor path structures with a thickness of between 5 and 50 mu .
