Abstract
The Electric lamp has a lamp vessel in which an electric element is accommodated, connected to current conductors which emanate from the lamp vessel. At least one of the current conductors has a length portion which is a solidified melt and in the area of which portion the current conductor has a kink. As a result of the conductor having a kink the electric element is aligned in the lamp vessel. The lamp can be obtained by melting the current conductor, e.g. by means of a laser, in the finished lamp.
