Abstract
A lamp assembly has a first, second and third connections which mount a reflector body on a fixed support to enable independent adjustment of the reflector body relative to the support. Each of the first and second connections includes a screw threaded rod engaged with a boss carried by the support. A ball on the rod engages in a socket. The socket is provided in a separate member having a pair oppositely directed elliptical springs through which the socket is mounted on a respective boss integral with the body. The springs permit a degree of elastic deformation in a direction which is radial with respect to the axis about which the reflector body can be tilted by rotation of the associated rod.
