Abstract: A lamp assembly (20) includes a ceramic metal halide lamp (22) mounted in a reflector (60) with support assembly (62). First frame portions (64) of the support assembly (which include linear first portions (64a), angled second portions (64b), and offset portions (64c)) are bent approximately ninety degrees at one end and merge into second frame portions (66) that extend parallel to the lamp. The arrangement supports the light source in the PAR lamp in a transverse manner. In a second embodiment, the frame portions (62?) extend along either side of the light source to accurately position the light source relative to the reflector.

Abstract: An incandescent lamp comprises at least four linear, helically-wound filament sections arranged with their longitudinal axes substantially parallel with each other and including a first filament section located along the longitudinal axis of the lamp with the remaining filament sections arranged substantially symmetrically around the first filament section.

Abstract: A filament array for an incandescent lamp comprises at least five filament sections (10) having their longitudinal axes parallel with one another and, when viewed in plan, being arranged substantially symmetrically in a polygonal configuration around the lamp axis. The filament sections are wound from a single wire and are electrically connected together in series by means of linking sections (18, 19, 20) of said wire extending between corresponding ends of the filament sections, with alternate linking sections being positioned at opposite ends of the filament sections. The linking sections at the two ends of the array are supported by a set of support members (30, 31) extending from respective frame members (34, 35). The electrical input and output (14, 15) of the array are through terminal wire sections on opposite or substantially opposite sides of the array.
