Abstract
A lamp capsule may be formed with substantially parallelepipedial ends including alignments. A metal strap may surround one end, between the alignments, with first and second oppositely disposed affixation areas of extensions. A glass stem has tubular first portion with outside diameter D. A C-shaped clip is mounted upon the tubular first portion. The clip has height H and inside diameter D1 smaller than the outside diameter D. The clip frictionally engages the tubular first portion. A first frame member has a proximal terminus affixed to the clop and a second frame member has a proximal terminus affixed to the clip opposite the first frame member. The first frame member has a distal terminus affixed to the one affixation area and second frame member has a distal terminus affixed to the other affixation area. The first and second frame members and the metal strap provide the support for the capsule.
