To provide a bulb-type fluorescent lamp that can be improved in light flux rise characteristics with a simple configuration, and also to provide a lighting apparatus using the same.

By providing a partition for separating a protrusion and a lighting device on the base side inside a cover, a thermal impact from the lighting device can be suppressed and thereby the temperature at the protrusion can be kept constant. Consequently, as compared with a conventional case wherein amalgam having a low mercury vapor pressure is used, the light flux rise characteristics immediately after lighting are improved and a decline in efficiency of emission during lighting can be suppressed.
