A lamp assembly comprises a reflector body having an aperture in the rear thereof which is closed by a bulbholder. The bulbholder houses electrical contacts for engaging a bulb which contacts are integrally formed with respective electrical terminals which project from the bulbholder. The bulbholder is welded to the reflector body so as to trap respective electrical connectors, which form part of a printed circuit power supply, between the electrical terminals and the reflector body, so that the electrical terminals are electrically connected to the respective electrical connections, a power supply thereby being provided to the bulb.
