The pure Argon HID lamp, an expectable source of 'electric blue light' for esoteric purposes

The pure argon HID lamp, an expectable source of 'electric blue light' for esoteric purposes.

If you are an average 'awakened' specialist,... consider it this way.

You have a well known nowadays 'mercury lamp' (uncoated) with more amount of argon filling in the discharge tube, but with no (or very, very less) mercury.
As usual, the discharge will well start in argon only.

The research has to bring out which has to be the amount of argon (with no mercury) in order the discharge to reach the nominal current (i.e. 1.50amps for a 175W lamp), connected to a correspondent 'mercury ballast' (i.e. the 175W mercury ballast)...

This is the step for the proper working of the discharge, the electrodes and the ballast...

The next steps... is... 'the show',... for both researchment and results as well... :-)

Depiction of a possible appearance of the 

pure Argon Medium Pressure lamps

Notice!
In case the research seeks to develop a medium pressure discharge (instead of a high pressure one) and are we using oversized arc tubes (as in depictions above) the electrodes need to be not oversized too, but instead, electrodes have to be corresponding to the wattage we intend to achieve, in order to reach the needed heat for emission.

What we call here 'medium pressure discharge' goes into discussion in the case, if due to research, the high pressure pure argon lamp in not achievable regarding certain technical inconveniences or if the output spectrum is too much different from what we desire to achieve.
