Abstract
A housing for a compact high intensity lamp. The housing has a shell whose inner surface generally conforms to the outer profile of the lamp, except at the lamp face. A small air space exists between the inner surface of the shell and the outer profile of the lamp. The shell receives air at an air intake port, and the air circulates in the air space, and exits from an air exhaust port. The shell and the lamp both rest on an alignment collar, that aligns the lamp to the shell and aligns the lamp to other equipment with which it is to be used.
