Abstract
A support for a linear source of radiation such as a linear LED array is fixed to a support for a linear light focusing means. A flange having a plurality of apertures which flange is fixed with respect to one of the supports receives a pin in each aperture which pin has a small cross-section compared to its respective aperture. A washer around each pin is fixed by adhesive to the flange and restricts movement of the pin laterally relative to the flange. The opening in the washer permits movement of the pin longitudinally which allows for thermal expansion of one support compared to the other.
