ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for converting mercury lamp fixtures to low pressure sodium lamp fixtures. The original mercury vapor lamp, and its respective socket and socket support bracket are removed from the mercury lamp fixture. Utilizing the same fixture housing and enclosed relfector, a new socket is mounted external of the reflector so that the reflector may accommodate the longer low pressure sodium lamp. A novel U-shaped bracket is utilized for supporting the sodium lamp socket and has adjustable mounting features so that it may be used with a variety of fixtures. An auxiliary sodium lamp support is mounted inside the reflector to support the remote end of the sodium vapor lamp.
