ADAPTER SET FOR FLUORESCENT LAMPS FOR CONVERTING TO LUMINESCENT TUBES HAVING SMALLER DIAMETERS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONIC BALLAST

摘要

An adapter set for fluorescent lamps with electronic ballast for converting to a fluorescent tube having a smaller diameter. The electronic ballast and the end cap adapter each on one axial front thereof comprise contact pins having dimensions of fluorescent tubes of larger diameters, and on the opposite axial front have contact sockets for receiving two contact pins of the fluorescent tube having a smaller diameter. Preferably, the electronic components of the ballast are located on at least two spatially separated partial circuit boards which may be connected to each other by a flexible contact strip. A jacket tube has at least one cable channel that extends axially relative thereto to house the wiring connecting the contact pins of the end cap adapter and the electric ballast.
