Abstract

A lamp assembly has a supporting housing containing a lamp reflector body adjustably mounted therein through a mounting arrangement. The mounting arrangement includes a socket fixed to the body and an adjusting screw rotatably mounted in a sleeve of the housing and having a part-spherical end which is a snap-fit in the socket. To prevent accidental disengagement of the part-spherical end from the socket when the screw had been moved beyond a predetermined position, a member with a frusto-conical recess is slidably mounted on the screw and engages over the socket to prevent it from opening.
