Luminescent aluminate with magnetoplumbite crystal structure, activated by cerium, by cerium and terbium or by cerium and manganese. The aluminate comprises at least one of the elements B, Si and P in a quantity of 0.001 to 0.20 mole per mole of aluminate which results in improved properties of luminescence. These aluminates are preferably used in low-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamps. |
