ABSTRACT:
An assembly (10) for a lamp. The assembly10includes a light source (12) having a center chamber (14) and opposite ends (16, 18), arrayed along a longitudinal axis (19). The ends (16, 18) are cylindrical in cross-section. A tubular shroud (20) surrounds the light source (12) and is coaxial with the longitudinal axis (19). The light source (12) is mounted within the shroud (20) by spring clips (26) one of which is mounted at either end of the shroud. The spring clips each include a base (28) lying in a first plane and having an aperture (30), for example, a star-shaped aperture, centrally located in the base. The apertures (30) in the two spring clips frictionally engage one of the ends (16, 18) of the light source (12). Each of the spring clips (26) has a U-shaped projection (32) at and end (33) of the base (26). The U-shaped projection comprises first and second upstanding walls (34, 36) joined by a first lip (38) that extends in a second plane and is fitted over the wall of the shroud (20). One of the upstanding walls of the U-shaped projection, for example, wall (36), is formed to provide spring tension for grasping the shroud wall.
