A lamp (34) for a refrigerator or freezer cabinet is located forwardly and above a horizontal edge (38) of an access opening (16) to a storage space (12) for goods in the cabinet. The lamp (34) illuminates the space (12) through the access opening by means of a reflector (36). The reflector (36) includes a cylindrical part (52) having a semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape. A concave side of the cylindrical part (52) faces the access opening (16). The lamp has a filament (42) which shines in the shape of a line (44) running parallel to the edge (38) and through one (42) of the focal points of the ellipse. The other focal point (58) of the ellipse is located quite close to and outside the edge (38), so that the light from the filament (42) first is reflected by the cylindrical part (52) of the reflector (36) and then passes through the other focal point (58) on its way into the space (12).

Lighting arrangement at a refrigerator or freezer cabinet

A boxlike body (10) with a rear wall (12) and four side walls (14) is brought into a fixture (34) with the free edges (22) of the side walls pointing downwards. The walls of the body are filled with insulating powder by blowing the powder into the rear wall (12) by gaseous medium of a first pressure. The powder is then packed by gaseous medium of a second pressure, which is higher than the first pressure, being let into the rear wall. During the filling and packing the media is let out via a filter element (24) arranged at the free edges (22) of the side walls. After the filling and packing the media is evacuated from the walls through the filter element (24). The body can then be used as a so-called vacuum insulation in a refrigerator or freezer.
