Abstract
The invention relates to a lamp ( ) with a reflector ( ) and a light source ( ). The reflector ( ) has a reflector neck ( ) which serves to accommodate the light source ( ) and into which the relevant light source ( ) is introduced and fixed, possibly after an alignment. Incandescent lamps and in particular gas discharge lamps may be used for the light source ( ). In known lamps, the light source ( ) used is fastened to the reflector neck ( ) by means of a cement. The light source ( ) is aligned in the reflector ( ), is to be kept in the desired position, and is fixed in place only after the long drying time has elapsed. To simplify the manufacture, according to the invention, a sleeve ( ) is provided for fastening to the reflector neck ( ) and for accommodating the light source ( ). A mechanical fastening of the light source ( ) to the reflector ( ) can be achieved in a surprisingly simple manner by means of an additional sleeve ( ).
