ABSTRACT:
A miniature florescent tube assembly holder and adapter for use in conjunction with the original manufacture or retrofit replacement of the conventional incandescent bulb and socket assembly of a lamp. The invention comprises a hollow housing having mating first and second housing portions held together by a tamper-resistant connector. An intermediate plate between first and second housing portions may also be provided to facilitate electrical connection with the lamp and power supply. At least one receptacle is disposed either on the interior of the first housing portion or on one surface of the intermediate plate for receiving the base of the fluorescent tube assembly and effecting electrical connection leading to a power supply. The fluorescent tubes themselves, being slightly smaller in circumference than the base, pass through a mating aperture in the second housing portion and, by this arrangement, each fluorescent tube assembly is trapped and secured within the receptacle and housing to prevent theft. Various means for supporting a lamp shade are also disclosed.
