ABSTRACT:
A vehicle lamp assembly comprises a reflector having upper and lower paraboloidal portions separated by a downwardly facing step. A filament of a halogen bulb having an envelope is mounted in the reflector 10 and a filament shield consisting of two die cast plate portions are disposed on opposite sides of the filament. Upper surfaces of the portions are disposed in mutually inclined planes which intersect at the axis of filament. Inner edges of the portions are disposed as near as possible to the filament and arc as thin as possible. Outer edges of the portions are thicker than the inner edges such that they cause substantially no further obscurement of the reflector than that caused by the inner edges. The plate portions are shaped and positioned so as to prevent reflections from the envelope and from the step from emerging upwardly from the lamp assembly.
