<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting fixture capable of preventing a lamp pin from dropping out from a socket caused by circling of a double-spiral fluorescent lamp. <P>SOLUTION: In the fluorescent lamp 20 having an arc tube 22 circled in a spiral shape, the lamp pins 21 of bases 23 arranged on both ends are retained on lamp sockets 17, and the arc tube 22 is retained with a lamp support spring 18 mounted on a fixture body 12. In this case, the lamp support spring 18 retains a section which is the outermost periphery of the arc tube 22 of the fluorescent lamp 20 and located at a position not near the base 23. The retained section is apt to enlarge a radius R from the center of the fluorescent lamp 20 when the lamp pin 21 of the fluorescent lamp 20 is circled in a direction dropped out from the socket 17, thereby the circling of the fluorescent lamp can be prevented with the lamp support spring 18. Thus, the lamp pins 21 can be prevented from dropping out from the socket 17. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
