Electric discharge lamp device

Abstract

There is provided an electric discharge lamp device from which a high voltage wire and a high voltage connector are removed and a temperature rise in the circuit means can be prevented by a simple structure. The reflecting member 20 is made of resin and formed into a cup-shape, and a beam of light emitted from the electric discharge lamp 30 is reflected forward by a concave reflecting face of the reflecting member 20. The circuit means 40 includes a circuit to impress a high voltage upon the electric discharge lamp 30. The electric discharge lamp 30 and the circuit means 40 are directly connected with each other without using a high voltage wire so that they are electrically connected. A battery voltage is impressed upon the circuit means 40 via the electric power source cord 50. The opposed face 43 of the circuit means 40, which is opposed to the reflecting member 20, extends along a perpendicular face passing through a connecting position at which the electric discharge lamp 30 and the circuit means 40 are connected with each other. The distance between the reflecting member 20 and the circuit means 40 is set at a value not less than 6 mm.
