Halogen-inert-gas lamp esp. for motor vehicle - has leads welded into diametrically opposed eyelets through optical disc to provide support for lamp bulb

One (4) of the current leads entering the quartz glass bulb is welded into a deep-drawn eyelet (6) in the optical disc (1). The other current lead (5) passes through a hole. (8) in an insulating block (3) mfd. of e. g. acrylate resin, and is welded into a cable contact (2) at the end of the block (3) remote from the body of the lamp. - The block encloses another eye (7) in the optical disc to which it is secured.
