ABSTRACT:
A rectangular seal beam lamp unit with a high intensity halogen bulb, particularly adapted for utility vehicles, that is self-supporting without requiring any special mounting fixtures on the vehicle, and includes an entirely plastic reflector having an integral forwardly projecting hood that defines in part a recess that receives a rectangular lens sealed by an epoxy material. The halogen bulb has two rearwardly extending lead wires that are embedded in a synthetic rubber material in a recess in the rear of the reflector to assist in shock mounting the bulb. The bulb is primarily supported by a pair of curved resilient connector rods that are welded to the bulb lead wires at one end and curve downwardly to a connector and terminal assembly at the lower rear of the reflector. A strap surrounds the halogen bulb and is fixed to one of the resilient connector rods to support and shock mount the bulb in the reflector. The terminal assembly includes a pair of eyelets into which the ends of the terminal rods are soldered, that extend through and are staked to terminals in vertical slots on the reflector. Integral projections on the reflector extend rearwardly through the terminals to assist in holding them against the reflector. A universal mount for the lamp includes an integral downwardly extending spherical projection on the reflector.
