Abstract

The reflector is a dished bowl with openings at front and rear and light bulb seat in the rear part. The reflector bowl is coated with a vacuum deposited aluminium layer. The bulb is arranged so that the incandescent filament is at the internal focal point of the ellipsoidal shape of the bowl in the rear part. The bowl is flattened at top and bottom and these form reflecting surfaces. Hence the reflector has four reflecting walls and the side reflecting surfaces are curved and incorporate a masking screen. The shape of the bowl ensures that the vertical extent of the light beam is restricted. A connecting housing which connects the bowl to the lens assembly at the front is arranged on the front of the housing.
