Abstract
A lamp assembly is provided which includes a lamp/reflector subassembly coupled together by a lamp coupler. The lamp coupler may include two coupler segments which are configured and dimensioned such that the lamp/reflector subassembly may be enclosed within the two coupler segments which may then be latched together. When latched together, the light source of the lamp will be properly positioned relative to the reflector to provide the desired lumen output. Such lamp assembly does not require a costly lamp to reflector focusing operation. A lamp coupler useful in such lamp assembly is also provided.
