Abstract
In a lamp assembly according to the present invention, a double ended lamp is securely supported in such a way that the one end of said lamp is fixed to a cap or a mirror and the other end of said lamp is fixed to a power supply member. The power supply member located in front of the mirror is made of a metal member of a higher rigidity. A flexible covered wire is secured with an adhesive, so that it may be located outside the periphery of the mirror and a connection portion of the metal member to the covered wire cannot protrude from a contour of the edge of the mirror. Therefore, the lamp assembly can be easily handled. In addition, the inclined bottom surface of a ventilating cutout in a cap ensures that the lamp can be cooled satisfactorily, leading to a long life of the lamp.
