Claim:
A built-in lamp having a holder for fastening in an installation surface ( 1 ) having an illuminant fitting ( 3 ) and having a reflector ( 8 ), the holder and reflector ( 8 ) being arranged relative to one another such that the reflector ( 8 ) extends beyond the installation surface ( 1 ) in a main direction of illumination (A) with a built-in lamp secured in the installation surface ( 1 ), with the reflector being coupled in this region extending beyond the installation surface to a reflection element ( 6 , 15 ) which extends transversely to the main direction of illumination (A) and is spaced from the installation surface, the reflection element ( 6 , 15 ) is arranged outside the reflector ( 8 ) and is illuminated by light via the region lying between the installation surface ( 1 ) and the reflection element ( 6 , 15 ) so that at least a portion of the light impinging the reflection element is reflected in a direction opposite from said main direction and directly against the installation surface thus illuminating the installation surface, wherein the light is provided by at least one of the reflector ( 8 ), which is made translucent or transparent at least sectionally in its region extending between the installation surface ( 1 ) and the reflection element ( 15 ), so that the reflection element ( 15 ) is illuminated by a portion of the light.
