Lack of mercury initially causes an prolonged warm-up time to full mild output, and eventually causes the lamp to glow a dim pink when the argon fuel takes over as the first discharge. Subjecting the tube to asymmetric present stream, effectively operates it under a DC bias, and causes asymmetric distribution of mercury ions alongside the tube. The localized depletion of mercury vapor strain manifests itself as pink luminescence of the base gas within the neighborhood of one of many electrodes, ...
