Abstract
A reflector discharge lamp in which a concave reflector has a front cover and in which a foil seal arrangement of hermetically sealed portions of a discharge lamp mounted therein can be advantageously prevented from reaching a high temperature. This is achieved by the discharge lamp being arranged such that a longitudinal axis of the discharge lamp coincides with the optical axis of the concave reflector by the end area of one of the hermetically sealed portions of the discharge lamp being located in an area of the concave reflector which is opposite the front cover. The end area of the other hermetically sealed portion projecting at least partially through and beyond an aperture in the front cover.
