This invention relates to an anti-corrosion member adapted for use in a vehicle wheel end assembly vehicle wheel end assembly. The vehicle wheel end assembly includes a bearing unit formed from steel and including a pilot surface and a steering knuckle formed from aluminum and having a portion supported on the pilot surface of the bearing unit. The assembly further includes an anti-corrosion member disposed on the pilot surface of the bearing unit so as to be interposed between the bearing unit and the portion of the steering knuckle when assembled so as to prevent direct contact therebetween whereby galvanic corrosion between the steel bearing unit and the aluminum steering knuckle is prevented. The anti-corrosion member can be formed from plastic or formed from metal and coated with an anti-corrosive material.

Lamp for irradiating at least one workpiece, comprising said structure of claim 9 and a bulb, the bulb being a tubular bulb extending in said longitudinal direction and positioned on said major axis, spaced from said first focal point. 11. Structure according to claim 1, wherein the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors are adapted to have the at least one workpiece positioned on said major axis, spaced from the second focal point. 12. Structure according to claim 11, wherein the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors are adapted to have the at least one workpiece positioned spaced from the second focal point, closer to the secondary elliptical-shaped reflector along the major axis, than a distance between the second focal point and the secondary elliptical-shaped reflector. 13. Structure according to claim 1, wherein the at least one workpiece is adapted to be positioned within the space during the irradiating, in the vicinity of the second focal point. 14. Structure according to claim 13, wherein the at least one workpiece is adapted to be positioned spaced from the second focal point, on the major axis. 15. Structure according to claim 13, wherein the at least one workpiece is adapted to be positioned at the second focal point, on the major axis. 16. Structure according to claim 13, wherein each of the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors extends in a longitudinal direction and is positioned so as to form, in combination, substantially a cylinder, the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors being adapted to have the at least one workpiece positioned, in said space, in the longitudinal direction. 17. Structure according to claim 16, wherein the primary elliptical-shaped reflector has opposed ends, and the support structure for the bulb includes end reflectors at both of the opposed ends of the primary elliptical-shaped reflector. 18. Lamp for irradiating at least one workpiece, comprising said structure of claim 17 and a bulb, the bulb being a tubular bulb extending in said longitudinal direction and positioned on said major axis, spaced from said first focal point. 19. Lamp for irradiating at least one workpiece, comprising said structure of claim 1, and a bulb supported by said support structure such that, in said space, said bulb is positioned on said major axis and spaced from the first focal point. 20. The lamp according to claim 19, wherein said bulb is a bulb of an electrodeless lamp, said lamp being an electrodeless lamp. 21. The lamp according to claim 20, wherein said bulb is a bulb that irradiates ultraviolet light, and said primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors and end reflectors reflect ultraviolet light. 22. The lamp according to claim 21, wherein said bulb is an electrodeless bulb of a microwave-powered, ultraviolet-light generating electrodeless lamp. 23. Apparatus for irradiating surfaces of the periphery of at least one workpiece, comprising: a primary elliptical-shaped reflector; a secondary elliptical-shaped reflector, the secondary elliptical-shaped reflector and the primary elliptical-shaped reflector being positioned such that a cross-section of the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors in combination form substantially an ellipse, surrounding a space, the ellipse having a major axis and first and second focal points, the first focal point being closer to the primary elliptical-shaped reflector, along the major axis, than is the second focal point; a bulb positioned on the major axis, spaced from the first focal point, in the vicinity thereof; and structure for passing the at least one workpiece through said space surrounded by the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors. 24. Apparatus according to claim 23, wherein the primary and secondary elliptical-shaped reflectors extend in a longitudinal direction such that the primary and secondary elliptic
