A switchable light fixture which may be usefully be employed as an interior automotive lighting fixture includes an insulating plate defining an interior cavity in which a sliding piece is disposed and supports an opposed pair of lamp sockets for holding a lamp. A plurality of stationary parallel contacts (at least two of which form a pair of lateral stationary contacts, and one of which forms a middle stationary contact) are positionally held by means of recessed surfaces or channels defined between respective upright supports. A pair of lateral plugs each formed by an outwardly bent terminal end portion of a respective one of the lateral stationary contacts is positioned in a respective pair of the recessed surfaces or defined channels so as to be disposed over the lateral pair of stationary contacts, with a middle plug being portioned between the pair of lateral plugs. Each of the middle stationary contact and the middle plug includes a connector strip which is connected to a respective one of the lamp sockets. A switch cover which forms an upper extent of the cavity in which the sliding piece is disposed is provided with a unitary plug cover. The switch cover positionally holds stationary contacts, while the plug cover provides a protective cover over the lateral pair of plugs and the middle plug. |
