ABSTRACT:
Efficiency of a lighting apparatus containing one or more pairs of fluorescent tubes is improved by eliminating one tube of each pair, installing a new pair of sockets positioned to hold the remaining tube at a location in a vertical plane between the original tube locations, positioning a new reflector in the fixture so that it reflects light from the repositioned remaining tube, and making electrical connections to the new sockets. This can be done by making connections to original sockets. The reflector is supported by spring clips held in place by the same fasteners which secure the new sockets. The spring clips are positioned to allow installation and removal of the new reflector without loosening the fasteners.
