A radiation source assembly comprises a source base, a UV transparent sleeve, and a UV lamp. The source base comprises a sealed electrical connection interface and an opposing sealed sleeve interface. The sealed electrical connection interface comprises a electrical contacts and the sealed sleeve interface comprise a radial sealing element, an outer collar, and a compression ring. The UV transparent sleeve is engaged with the sleeve interface such that the radial sealing element of the sealed sleeve interface is disposed between the UV transparent sleeve and the outer collar of the source base, and the compression ring is positioned over the UV transparent sleeve and engaged with the source base to compress the radial sealing element onto the UV transparent sleeve and the outer collar. The UV lamp is disposed within the UV transparent sleeve and electrically coupled to the electrical contacts of the electrical connection interface.

A lamp (10), which is particularly a motor vehicle headlight, comprises a burner (12) for emitting light, which is supported by a holder (16) for mechanically connecting the burner (12) with a socket (14). The holder (16) comprises a metal ring (26) surrounding the burner (12). The metal ring (26) is thermally connected to the burner (12) via a single connecting surface (40), which is in planar contact to the burner (12) over an angle of 350 in circumferential direction. Due to the increased heat transfer to the environment the used materials are less subjected to heat, so that the overall lifetime and the shock resistance of the lamp (10) are increased at the same time.

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.

A lamp device is disclosed. The lamp device comprises a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector located at a first end portion of the lamp device. The first end portion of the lamp device is received in a receptacle of a first base portion. A first locking portion is included for secunng the first base portion to the first end portion. The present radiation lamp device obviates or mitigates the need to use adhesive and/or polymer insulation/O-rings to achieve electrical connections. Further, the present radiation lamp may be oriented in a vertical orientation without the need to use springs and/or rubber part to support the distal end of the lamp.

There is disclosed a coupling for a radiation source assembly that comprises an elongate radiation source and an elongate radiation transparent protective sleeve for receiving the elongate radiation source. The coupling disengages in two stages when it is desired to remove the elongate radiation source for servicing (or any other purpose). The coupling is disengaged from a first position in which a seal is made between the sleeve bolt element and the lamp plug element. When this action takes place, the lamp plug element is still secure with respect to the sleeve bolt element but since there is no seal between the two, any fluid which has flooded the elongate radiation source (e.g., due to breakage or other damage to the protective sleeve) will emerge from the coupling warning the operator not to fully disengage the lamp plug element from the sleeve bolt element. If no such fluid is seen by operator, the operator may continue to disengage the lamp plug element from the sleeve bolt element to withdraw the elongate radiation source from the elongate radiation transparent protective sleeve.
