LOW-PRESSURE DISCHARGE LAMP WITH A BASE ON ONE SIDE AND MOUNT BELONGING THERETO

摘要

A fluorescent lamp, particularly of annular shape, with a tube-shaped discharge vessel has a base with contact pins, in which the two ends of the vessel face each other. The contact pins are essentially arranged in the annular plane of the lamp on both sides of the base. The mount belonging thereto has a U-shaped profile. The arms of the mount are provided with recesses for taking up and making contact with the contact pins of the base. This makes possible a linear motion when inserting the base into the mount. Retaining springs on the mount and recesses on the base belonging thereto make possible a locking of the base with the mount. Another advantage is the small structural height of the lamp including the mount.
