Abstract
A lamp assembly has an elongate source of radiation and an elongate reflective surface partly surrounding the source for reflecting radiation from the source onto a substrate for curing a coating on the substrate. The reflective surface has a profile which is substantially continuously concave curved and is shaped with respect to the source such that less than 10% of the radiation emitted from the source is reflected back onto the source.
