A lamp (34) for a refrigerator or freezer cabinet is located forwardly and above a horizontal edge (38) of an access opening (16) to a storage space (12) for goods in the cabinet. The lamp (34) illuminates the space (12) through the access opening by means of a reflector (36). The reflector (36) includes a cylindrical part (52) having a semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape. A concave side of the cylindrical part (52) faces the access opening (16). The lamp has a filament (42) which shines in the shape of a line (44) running parallel to the edge (38) and through one (42) of the focal points of the ellipse. The other focal point (58) of the ellipse is located quite close to and outside the edge (38), so that the light from the filament (42) first is reflected by the cylindrical part (52) of the reflector (36) and then passes through the other focal point (58) on its way into the space (12).

[ We claim:] [1.] Refrigerator or freezer cabinet (10) with a lamp (34) which, by means of a reflector (36) with a cylindric reflection surface, illuminates a storage space (12) for goods in the cabinet, said reflector (36) having a downwardly facing opening (32), said lamp being arranged relatively forwardly and above a horizontal edge (38) of a vertical access opening (16) to the space and above said downward facing opening (32) such that said lamp illuminates the space through the downward facing opening (32) and the access opening, wherein a first portion (52) of the reflector (36) has a semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape with first and second focal points (42, 58), a concave side of said first portion facing said access opening, the lamp (34) having a filament (42) defining a first line (44) extending parallel to the edge (38) and through said first focal point (42), said second focal point (58) being located adjacent and outside the edge (38) so that light is directed past the edge into the space, whereby light from the filament (42) is reflected by said first portion (52) of the reflector (36) and passes through the second focal point (58) and then into the space (12).
