Abstract
To permit change of direction of light emitted from a reflector lamp (,) adapted to be secured in a fixed socket, a reflector unit, preferably in the form of an attachment, is provided which is formed by a frame (,) which pivotably retains a partially light transparent and partially light reflecting disk (,). The frame (,) is coupled by a snap connection with a circumferential rim (,) of the reflector lamp, so that the disk (,) is rotatable about the reflector axis (A) as well as pivotable in the arms (,). The reflector axis (A) and the pivot axis (P) of the disk preferably are perpendicular to each other. The disk may have a mirror reflective, and one matte surface, and can be made of plastic, aluminum, sheet steel and, if so, formed with openings (,) therethrough; if made of glass, the surface can be partially light reflective/transmissive.
