Device for placing a lamp in a reflector

Device for placing a lamp in a reflector, said device comprising:

• a socket for holding a lamp and
• a back plate to be secured to the reflector, characterized in that
• said socket (1) is provided with a main body part (2), with a reference plane (16) to be brought into contact with the a reflector surface, with means (3) for holding the lamp at one side of the reference plane, with a resilient annular spring (5) secured to the main body part at the opposite side of the reference plane, and with two upright arms (7) provided with clicks (8),
• said back plate (11) being provided with pressure points (14),
• wherein, when securing the back plate to the reflector, the reference plane (16) is brought into contact with said reflector surface, and the pressure points (14), when in contact with the clicks (8) of the socket, displace the clicks (8) in the direction of the reflector over a distance Δ× so as to put the annular spring (5) under tension, said distance Δ× being such that the annular spring (5) presses the reference plane towards said reflector surface with a force of at least 5N, preferably with a force of at least 10 N.
