Reversible lamp

A base-up incandescent lamp () includes a coiled-coil filament () that has a primary wire () and a secondary wire (), the primary wire () comprising an overwind that overlies the secondary wire () and provides a lower filament temperature and, therefore, less filament sag and a concomitant longer lamp life.

Lamp filament

A fluorescent lamp includes a glass envelope having a sealed end portion, a base shell member of a cup-shape configuration adapted to engage the envelope end portion, and a collar of shrink wrap material disposed around the envelope end portion and sides of the base shell member, the shrink wrap material being shrunken and compressing against the envelope end portion and the base shell member, to fix the base shell member on the envelope end portion.
