Abstract:
An electrical incandescent lamp, in particular a halogen incandescent lamp (4) having a lamp bulb (5) which has a coating (9) that reflects IR radiation, and having a flat luminous body (10) which defines a fictional plane of the light, is arranged inside the lamp bulb (5) and is held by means of two electricity supply leads (11a, 11b), with the two electricity supply leads (11a, 11b) being routed to the exterior in a gastight manner, wherein the shape of the lamp bulb (5) with respect to those axes which lie in the plane of the light have no rotational symmetry, but wherein the lamp bulb (5) in fact has a shape which differs from rotational symmetry but is matched to the flat geometry of the luminous body (10), that is to say a flattened shape.
