Zusammenfassung:There is disclosed a reflector 10 for use with an electric lamp of the type comprising a connector portion for insertion in a lamp socket, a housing portion 19, a cylindrical transparent or translucent envelope 20 containing electrically operated illumination means, and a peripheral groove 21 defined between adjacent edges of the housing portion 19 and the envelope 20. A preferred lamp of the type specified is a so-called energy-saving lamp. The reflector 10 has a generally parabolic reflecting surface and is intended to snap-fit into engagement with the lamp. The reflector has a generally cylindrical mounting portion 11 which terminates at one end of the reflector in an inclined lip 12, and slots 17 are formed in the cylindrical portion 11 which extend away from said one end of the reflector so as to render the cylindrical portion 11 resiliently radially outwardly deformable. This enables the reflector to be slid axially along the cylindrical envelope 20 of the lamp until the inturned lip 12 comes in to register with the groove 21 of the lamp and snaps resiliently into engagement therewith.
