Abstract

In a light source unit which has a discharge lamp which is located in a differential pressure passage system, an arrangement in which the discharge lamp and a concave reflector can be cooled with high efficiency is achieved by a discharge lamp being attached in the neck of a concave reflector which is located essentially horizontally, and at the same time, in the differential pressure passage system. Furthermore, at least one cooling air discharge opening is located in the neck area of the concave reflector; translucent glass covers the front opening of the concave reflector; and at least one cooling air injection opening is located in the area of the front opening of the concave reflector and has directional accuracy with reference to the inside of the concave reflector.
