A UV radiator unit includes an elongated gas discharge lamp with an essentially cylindrical UV transparent lamp body with sealed ends, which encloses a gas volume. The lamp body defines a longitudinal axis and has an outer diameter. A UV transparent sleeve tube with an inner diameter, which surrounds the lamp body and wherein the inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the lamp body. At least one damping ring is interposed between the lamp body and the sleeve tube. The damping ring includes a first side element, a second side element and at least one connecting portion. An axial distance is provided between the first side element and the second side element. The at least one connecting portion physically connects the first side element and the second side element.

An enhanced lighting ceramic metal-halide lamp assembly provides a ceramic metal-halide lamp that operates to illuminate at high temperatures, have an increased life span, and improved color temperatures, color renderings, and luminous efficacies. The lamp assembly includes an at least partially transparent container forming a vacuum. Inside the container, a plurality of ceramic arc tubes are connected by two U-shaped coupling mechanisms. The coupling mechanisms are conductive and resilient, so as to provide both conductivity, and a buffering clearance between the ceramic arc tubes. The lamp assembly is also unique in that it provides a 630 watt double ended ceramic metal-halide lamp, as the ceramic arc tube produces 630 watts, uses about 200 volts and 3 Amps when illuminating. At least one fastening bracket, having resiliency, extends between the ceramic arc tube and inner surface of the container to help stabilize the ceramic arc tubes inside the elongated container.

In various embodiments, a reflector lamp having a longitudinal axis is provided. The reflector lamp may include: a reflector which has a contour and a neck, with a pin base resting at the end of said neck, a light source arranged in the reflector, wherein the light source is fastened in the reflector with the aid of a mounting clip, which simultaneously adjusts the light source, wherein the mounting clip comprises three sections, namely a first section which holds the light source, a second section which serves for the adjustment in the neck and a third section which is used for the base connection.
