  • Patent number: 7775688
    Abstract: A reflector device for a lighting device, having a reflector element that has a light emission side and a back side facing away from the light emission side. From the back side to the light emission side, at least one mounting opening is provided, through which an electrically conductive connection element is intended to be passed by its second end region and coupled with the reflector element. The connection element, in turn, serves the purpose of coupling to an individual lamp on the one hand and an electrical power source on the other, and in its first end region it has means for securing the reflector device in a retention device. It furthermore has a third region, adjoining the first end region, that has a round diameter in cross section, and this diameter does not increase between the third region and the second end region.
