Abstract
The irradiation device has a concave reflector (1) and a pair of spaced holders (10) for mechanically holding an elongate electric radiation source (30). The holders (10) have a rigid base (11) and a rigid first wall (12) rigidly connected thereto and a second wall (12). The second wall (12) has a resilient element (14) having an end portion (15) which is directed to the base (11) as well as to the first wall (12) at an acute angle. The element (14) is able to urge a cap (31) of a double-ended capped radiation source (30) towards the base (11) and the first wall (12) so as to hold that source (30) in an aligned position with respect to the reflector (1).
