ABSTRACT:
A circular fluorescent lamp assembly having the entire ballasting circuit, along with a thermal protector, contained within the assembly's lamp holder. The thermal protector serves the dual function of preventing permanent damage to the assembly's ballast means and for extending lamp starting switch means operating life under normal end of lamp life cycling conditions. The thermal protector is responsive to the coil temperature of the ballast means and is electrically coupled in series with the ballast means, starting switch, capacitor and the lamp. One example of the thermal protector is a bimetal bottle switch.
