Aircraft lamp

An aircraft lamp comprising:

• a housing capable of being attached to a body of an aircraft;
• a light transmissive cover attached to a front side of the housing;
• a reflector accommodated inside the housing;
• a light source fixed to a front side of the reflector;
• an electrode terminal for the light source provided on a rear surface of the reflector so as to project therefrom;
• and
• a lamp socket comprising a power supply terminal provided in a rear side of the housing,
• wherein the reflector is detachably attached to the lamp socket so that the electrode terminal is electrically connected to the power supply terminal when the reflector is attached to the lamp socket,
• wherein the aircraft lamp further comprises a retainer which fastens the light transmissive cover to the housing, and
• wherein the retainer securely holds the reflector between the light transmissive cover and the lamp socket.

An aircraft lamp comprising:

• a housing capable of being attached to a body of an aircraft;
• a light source;
• an igniter which activates the light source;
• a reflector which reflects visible light from the light source;
• a light transmissive cover which transmits reflected light from the reflector to a front side of the housing;
• a lamp socket electrically connected to the light source and the igniter;
• and
• a high-voltage electrical power line that electrically connects the lamp socket with the igniter,
• wherein the light source, the reflector, the light transmissive cover, the lamp socket, and the igniter are disposed within the housing,
• wherein a heat insulating air layer is provided between the lamp socket and the igniter,
• wherein the high-voltage electrical power line is provided so as to pass through the heat insulating air layer,
• wherein the reflector is molded from a light transmissive material, and
• wherein a reflecting film, which transmits infrared light of the light source towards the air layer, is provided on a front surface of the reflector,
• wherein the reflector is attached to the lamp socket,
• wherein a supporting surface of the lamp socket and an attaching surface of the igniter are disposed so as to be substantially at right angles to a direction in which the reflector is attached in the housing, and
• wherein the air layer is formed between the supporting surface and the attaching surface.
