  • Publication number: 20100273384
    Abstract: In a method for aligning the arc of a lamp with the optical axle of an optical device the lamp is inserted in a housing of a solid material, said housing having an outer configuration unambiguously adapted to a holder of the unit. The lamp is thereafter adjusted to its correct position with regard to said optical axle and fixed in said position.
