ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for a U-shaped tube of a fluorescent lamp that has a free end and a connecting end having a coupling member that holds the two tube portions together. The connecting end has male electrical prongs that are insertable into female electrical receptacles formed in a body wall of a mounting body. The body wall is transverse to the U-tube. A support member extends outwardly from under the mounting body under the coupling member to provide resistance to downward movement of the U-tube. A wire locking member connected to the mounting body extends over the coupling member and includes a cross-wire having a U-portion that clamps against the outer wall of the mounting member between the two tube portions so as to grip the U-tube and prevent it from laterally sliding from the mounting body. The locking member also acts to prevent sideways movement of the U-tube in one direction when the U-tube is set vertically.
