The sleeve is also attached to the lamp base by the adhesive so that there is integral connection of the sleeve and the base at each end of the envelope. A retaining ring, also held by the adhesive, covers the base. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the retaining ring inner surface and the lamp base having mating members to align the retaining ring on the base. In another embodiment, the sleeve has a number of angled slots around its circumference at each end and there are corresponding locking teeth on a retaining ring to accommodate for variations in lamp envelope/protective sleeve length.
