ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a socket adapter for a receiving a socket, the socket designed to receive fluorescent tubes. The socket adapter is of a configuration that can receive a portion of the socket in a manner such that the distance between center of the socket, as taken from a second socket portion where the fluorescent tube attaches to the edge of housing, where the socket is mounted to a surface, is minimized. This socket adapter structure contributes to reducing the distance between the rear wall of the cabinet and the center of the socket (or center of the bulb, e.g., fluorescent tube, when the bulb is electrically connected in the socket), when compared to the prior art "tombstone" sockets, assisting in and allowing for the creation of "low profile " signs.
