Abstract: A lamp (10), which is particularly a motor vehicle headlight, comprises a burner (12) for emitting light, which is supported by a holder (16) for mechanically connecting the burner (12) with a socket (14). The holder (16) comprises a metal ring (26) surrounding the burner (12). The metal ring (26) is thermally connected to the burner (12) via a single connecting surface (40), which is in planar contact to the burner (12) over an angle of ?350° in circumferential direction. Due to the increased heat transfer to the environment the used materials are less subjected to heat, so that the overall lifetime and the shock resistance of the lamp (10) are increased at the same time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lamp socket 1 for lamps 25, in particular vehicle lamps, comprising a connection region 2 for arranging the lamps 25 on a headlamp, a light or the like, a hollow-cylindrical receiving section 3 for arranging a bulb 27 on the lamp socket 1, and a cylindrical metal sleeve 4 which is arranged in the receiving section 3. In order to provide a lamp socket 1 of simple and stable design which has high heat-resistance, it is provided that a flange 5 arranged on the metal sleeve 4 rests on protrusions 7 which project from an upper edge 6 of the receiving section 3.

Abstract: A lamp includes a burner secured to a holding device made of metal. The lamp further includes a bottom section made of plastic. In order that the lamp is of a simple, mechanically stable design, and nonetheless is thermally stable, in accordance with a first aspect, an opening of the bottom section is provided with projections in such a way that a base sleeve made of metal, which is disposed in the opening, does not bear laterally against the bottom section over its entire surface. In accordance with a second aspect, the base sleeve includes a flange which screens a top side of the bottom section, at least partially, against the burner, wherein a space remains between the flange and the top side of the bottom section.
