Abstract

The subject matter of the disclosure is a PAR lamp arrangement having an integral lamp, in particular an integral halogen lamp, which is inserted into a base and is surrounded at least in sections by a reflector, the base and the integral lamp being connected via contact springs, and the reflector being covered by a diffusing screen. According to the invention, the reflector is made from aluminum and is provided with a reflective surface or coating. Owing to the aluminum reflector used and the fact that the integral lamp is held via contact springs, improved holding of the integral lamp is made possible with reduced weight and production complexity.

Claims (11)

1. A PAR lamp arrangement having an integral lamp, in particular an integral halogen lamp, which is inserted into a base and is surrounded at least in sections by a reflector, the base and the integral lamp being connected via contact springs, and the reflector being covered by a diffusing screen, whereby the reflector is made from aluminum and has a reflective surface or coating,

the base and the integral lamp being connected via a contact spring arrangement, the contact spring arrangement having at least one slot-shaped insertion section, it being possible for at least one knob of the pinch seal of the integral lamp to be inserted into said insertion section and fixed there.

2. The PAR lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , the insertion section being delimited, on the lamp side, by corner regions which each engage behind the knob of the pinch seal and hold the integral lamp in the contact spring arrangement.

3. The PAR lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 2 , the corner regions being bent outwards, on the lamp side, at least in sections.

4. A PAR lamp arrangement having an integral lamp, in particular an integral halogen lamp, which is inserted into a base and is surrounded at least in sections by a reflector, the base and the integral lamp being connected via contact springs, and the reflector being covered by a diffusing screen, whereby the reflector is made from aluminum and has a reflective surface or coating,

the base and the integral lamp being connected via a contact spring arrangement, the contact spring arrangement having at least two contact lugs for the purpose of making electrical contact with the integral lamp.

5. The PAR lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 4 , the contact springs each forming at least one spring tab, which is bent out for the purpose of being connected to the base.

6. The PAR lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 4 , the contact springs being in the form of stamped and bent sheet-metal parts and having an approximately bracket-shaped cross section, at least in sections.

7. A PAR lamp arrangement having an integral lamp, in particular an integral halogen lamp, which is inserted into a base and is surrounded at least in sections by a reflector, the base and the integral lamp being connected via contact springs, and the reflector being covered by a diffusing screen, whereby the reflector is made from aluminum and has a reflective surface or coating,

the integral lamp having two contact pins, which emerge on the underside of the pinch seal and are each provided with a power supply line having an integrated electrical fuse, and the power supply lines being passed back in the direction of two planar-parallel surfaces of the pinch seal.

8. The PAR lamp arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , the power supply lines being electrically connected, preferably welded or soldered, to contact lugs of the contact springs.
