A low-pressure vapor discharge lamp has a radiation-transmitting discharge vessel (1) enclosing, in a gastight manner, a discharge space (3) provided with a gas filling. The gas filling is substantially free of mercury and comprises an indium compound and a buffer gas. The discharge vessel (1) comprises discharge means (2) for maintaining a gas discharge in the discharge space (3). The discharge vessel (1) is provided with a luminescent layer (4). The luminescent layer (4) comprises a luminescent material based on a nitridosilicate or on an oxonitridosilicate. Preferably, the luminescent material comprises rare-earth emitters. Preferably, the luminescent material comprises europium, cerium, or ytterbium emitters.
