<p>A lamp base inner shell (20) comprising a base (11) and a wall (16,18) extending from the periphery of said base, the wall having a plurality of slots (17) extending from the free end thereof towards the base, the slots defining a number of tabs (18), at least one tab having an inwardly-extending projection (19), characterised in that at least one slot (17') extends substantially to said base (11). The inner shell is used to electrically connect and secure a lamp base shell (21) to a lamp tube (24).
