A lamp with an internal reflector is disclosed. The reflector includes an extension captured in the inner surface of the envelope to security position, and maintain the reflector position, without having extraneous support, bridge, or other internal fixtures to secure the reflector. The invention described reduces the need for support mechanisms, and allows the further reduction of lamp sizes for lamps having internal reflectors.
