    摘要: A double-ended socket system for safely and easily seating a double-ended lamp is disclosed. The system has two socket assemblies spaced a distance corresponding to the length of a double-ended lamp. Each socket assembly has a housing with a recess that houses a cylindrical socket for receiving a lamp end that rotates between a disengaged orientation and an engaged orientation. The housing has an attached electrical connector connected to a power source. The socket has another attached electrical connector that contacts the electrical connector of the housing only when the socket is rotated to the engaged orientation, thus eliminating the electrical shock hazard of conventional double-ended socket systems. The lamp may be removed only while in the disengaged orientation. A user may install a double-ended lamp into the socket system by use of only one hand. A method of use of a double-ended socket system is also disclosed.

    摘要: The invention relates to a base (3, 4, 22) for a lamp tube (1), comprising a securing part (3, 4) for stationarily securing to a front side of the lamp tube (1), and a connection part (22) having at least one electrical contact element (26) for electrically contacting a lamp holder, which connection part (22) can be twisted against the securing part (3, 4), wherein the securing part (3, 4) and the connection part (22) are electrically connected to one another by means of at least one sliding contact (4, 28). A tubular lamp (L) having a lamp tube (1) comprises a base (3, 4, 22) on at least one open end of the lamp tube (1). A method serves to assemble a base (3, 4) on a lamp, tube (1) of the tubular lamp (L). In particular, the invention is suitable for use on retrofit LED lamps as a substitute for fluorescent lamps, in particular T-type lamps, in particular T8-type lamps.
