Abstract: An apparatus for accommodating and making electrical contact with a luminous means, which contains a glass vessel, a luminous means base and contact pins for supplying power, in a spotlight, which contains a luminous means holder for accommodating the luminous means base with plug-type sockets for accommodating the contact pins of the luminous means, is provided. The luminous means holder has a device for monitoring the connection between the luminous means base and the luminous means holder. The monitoring device comprises a device for detecting the relative position of at least one part of the luminous means base in relation to the luminous means holder when the luminous means base is inserted into the luminous holder.
