A reflector lamp for use in a device (i.e., flashlight) that includes a reflector member having a reflecting portion and a base neck portion with an extending stub portion. A lamp capsule (i.e., low wattage tungsten halogen capsule) is disposed within the reflector member and has a pair of lead wires extending therefrom to be received at said stub portion. The stub portion includes oppositely disposed elongated slots of rectangular cross-section formed therein while the lead wires in turn each include, along at least a segment thereof, a workhardened rectangular cross-section of dimension sufficient to enable snug receipt thereof in one of the slots. The lead wires are thus capable of being disposed within the respective slots without the requirement of adhesive or glue therebetween. Further, the lead wires are disposed to a depth sufficient to maintain an interlock therebetween despite exertion of compressive forces imposed on the leads by respective contacts which open and close against the lead wires.
