Patent ID: 7053540

Claim:
A fluorescent reflector lamp comprised of: a fluorescent light source; a reflector with a defined cavity having circumferential rim defining a light emitting opening, and said cavity having a first circumferential flange defining a mating opening having an inner diameter, and said cavity having an interior wall defining a reflective surface of the reflector having substantially larger diameter at the circumferential rim than at the circumferential flange a lens attached to said circumferential rim of said reflector; a light source base attached to said fluorescent light source; said base being inside said defined cavity of said reflector and located inside said mating opening; and said base having a second circumferential flange having an outer diameter, and said base having a first locking means; an electricity supply base; a ballast for energizing said fluorescent light source to emit light, said ballast including power input terminals connected to said electricity supply base and output terminals connected to said fluorescent light source; a ballast housing with a defined space to accommodate the electronic ballast; said ballast housing having a second locking means; and said housing having means for attachment of said electricity supply base; said fluorescent reflector lamp being assembled by mating of said first locking means of the light source base with said second locking means of the ballast housing; wherein said outer diameter of the second circumferential flange of the light source base is larger than said inner diameter of the first circumferential flange of the reflector cavity; wherein light emitted by said fluorescent light source being substantially reflected by the reflecting surface of the reflector and directed out of the reflector cavity through said light emitting opening.
