ABSTRACT:
A lighting tube adapting device includes an insulating base having two through holes for receiving two tube pins of a lighting tube, and an adapting unit including two adapting seats, two adapting members, and two bridge members. The adapting seats are spaced in the insulating base and define two hollow spaces separately communicating with the through holes on the insulating base. The adapting members are electrically conducting and mounted in the hollow spaces of the adapting seats, and respectively include a first sleeve portion for receiving one tube pin and a second sleeve portion sidewardly communicating with the first sleeve portion. The bridge members are electrically conducting, and respectively have a first adapting pin for inserting into the second sleeve portions and a second adapting pin for inserting into two pin insertion holes on a socket. Therefore, the lighting tube is electrically connected to the socket via the adapting device.
