ABSTRACT:
To retain a lamp in a reflector body of a light assembly, a wire retaining clip is provided which has a U-shaped anchor portion disposed as a friction fit in a recess in the body. Arms of the clip extend in cantilever fashion from the anchor portion and engage against a flange on the lamp so as to urge an abutment surface on the lamp into engagement with a corresponding abutment surface in the reflector body. The arms of the clip are resiliently biassed in the same direction as that required to bring said abutment surfaces into mutual engagement and are also resiliently deformable outwardly so as to facilitate snap-engagement of the lamp into a lamp-receiving aperture in the reflector body.
