ABSTRACT:
A socket unit for fluorescent lamps and especially cold cathode fluorescent lamps has a movable top cover which includes an integral support limb. When in the open position, a lamp is supported by the limb. When in the closed position, the lamp is cammed into engagement with a conductive socket that supplies power to the lamp. As the cover is rotated toward the open configuration, the support limb engages the lamp and pushes it out of engagement with the socket and lifts the lamp to a location where it can easily be removed. In alternative embodiments, the socket can accept a cold cathode fluorescent lamp by engaging a conductive lamp end cap or the socket can accept a conventional, two-pin fluorescent lamp with a pair of conductive clips, one for each pin. Orienting means may be provided to position the lamp for insertion into the socket clips.
