Further, in order to ensure this insulation, the first discharge path restricting portion 16 and the third support portion 14 are separated from each other. This is because, during operation of the lamp, when the first discharge path restricting section 16 and the second discharge path restricting section 12 become high in temperature, spatters and evaporates are discharged from the discharge path restricting section 16 and 16. It is generated from the second discharge path restricting portion 12, and the metal evaporation at this time is positively attached to the wall surface of the charging port 17. In other words, by separating the first discharge path restricting section 16 and the third support section 14, the area where metal vaporized matter is adhered is increased. This makes it difficult to short-circuit 16 and the second discharge path restricting section 12.
