LIGHTING CIRCUIT, LIGHTING SYSTEM METHOD AND APPARATUS, SOCKET ASSEMBLY, LAMP INSULATOR ASSEMBLY AND COMPONENTS THEREOF

摘要

A lighting system and components are described for a lighting assembly, including a socket (44, 46) having a socket body and an electrical connector (50) with a seal (60) in the socket to seal around a light source (42). The socket (44) is preferably configured to be independent of the mounting arrangement (40) for the lifting assembly. An insulator (94) is also disclos ed for a lamp such as a fluorescent lamp having a body which protects the conta ct on the lamp so as to form a recessed lamp conductor. The combination of a socket and lamp insulator is also disclosed. Additionally, a lighting assemb ly (36) is disclosed incorporating the insulator, socket and mounting arrangements.
