Abstract
A lamp assembly (10) includes a body (12) having a concave reflecting surface (16) that opens toward a first or open end (18) and a neck (22) at a second end includes an opening (24). A light source (30) is received in the body adjacent the reflecting surface and has a seal or pinch region (44) which extends into the neck. A mounting clip (80) includes a plate (82) that engages the outer surface of the neck. First and second legs (84, 86) of the mounting clip engage the pinch region via teeth (88), while arms (90, 92) engage an internal surface (94) of the neck.
