Abstract: A halogen incandescent lamp is provided. The lamp has at least one incandescent coil and an envelope including a pinched portion from which electrodes project. Clamping saddles made of bent metal strips are mounted on the pinched portion. Each clamping saddle has a wing extending in a plane placed across the central axis of the lamp, and each electrode is electrically connected to a clamping saddle. The lamp includes lead wires cut to shape from metal strips of appropriate thickness and have an elongated shape in the direction of the central axis of the lamp. Each lead wire is mechanically and electrically connected to a wing of a clamping saddle. One of the lead wires is formed in the plane of the wings without bending, while the other lead wire is bent so that the free end thereof raises from the plane of the wings at a distance corresponding at least to the radius of said envelope.
