ABSTRACT:
A lighting system (10) has: a fixture (12) with an axis of orientation (14); and a light source (16) mounted within the fixture (12). A ballast (20), usually positioned on the side of the fixture away from the light source, is associated with the light source (16), the ballast (20) having a first end (22) attached to the light source (16) via appropriate wires and a second end (24) attached to an electrical power source (26), also by appropriate wires. The connector (28) is composed of inline electrical connector halves (30, 32) having proximal mating ends (34, 36), an axis of attachment (38) and distal ends (40, 42) provided with strain relief mounting means (44). One of the electrical connector halves, for example, (30), has a locking tongue (46) extending along the axis of attachment (38) and the other half, (32) in this instance, has a locking tongue receptor (48) for receiving the locking tongue (46), the tongue and receptor functioning to maintain the connector halves in a joined and locked position.
