In an electric incandescent lamp having a bulb (1) including a glass pinch (2) which is retained in a metal cap (3) with a rectangular cross-section, the cap is provided with outwardly bent tags (7) at the wider sides (10) of its end facing the bulb (1). The tags (7) each have at their free ends a rim (9) which runs at least substantially parallel to lamp axis (X--X).

Electric incandescent lamp

The lamp/reflector unit comprises a metal reflector (1) within which an electric lamp (3) is secured. A lamp base (20) is mounted to the reflector (1) by means of an elastic synthetic resin (23), which may substantially fill up the lamp base (20). Current conductors (22) which may each be composed of several thinner conductors, may connect contacts (21) of the lamp base (20) to current supply conductors (7) emanating from the lamp (3). They may be made of copper and be secured to the current supply conductors (7) in a clamping manner. The unit suppresses acoustic resonance.
