ABSTRACT:
A fluorescent lamp system including a pair of fluorescent lamp socket bars, a pair of ballast transformers, and a wiring harness. Each lamp socket bar consists of a sandwich of a molded plastic plate which holds the lamp socket contacts and the wiring connector pins, and a printed circuit wiring plate which makes electrical contact with the socket contacts and connector pins through mechanical pressure contact, and which wiring plate contains the circuit wiring excepting for the interconnections with the ballast transformers, such interconnections being effected either by means of a wiring harness having plug connectors which pluggingly connect to pins on the lamp socket bar and to the ballast transformers or by quick-wire connections from the ballast transformers themselves. If a cable harness is used, the ballasts are also pluggably engageable with the fluorescent lamp socket bars. Assembly of a working fluorescent lamp troffer structure is drastically simplified and accomplished rapidly by securing two of the lamp socket bars within the troffer, plugging the ballast transformers into the socket bar and securing the transformers mechanically to the troffer, and plugging the cable harness into the ballast transformers and lamp socket bars, or alternatively, by quick-wiring the ballasts to the socket bars.
