Also, the apparatus includes a holding member for stabilizing the position of the lamp within the container. The holding member includes a first lamp retaining portion secured to the first electroluminescent lamp. Additionally, the holding member includes an extending portion continuous with the first lamp retaining portion. The extending portion has a width and a length defining a surface for engaging an inner portion of the container. Further, at least a portion of the length of the extending portion is remote from the retaining portion.
