A lampholder assembly is provided which includes first and second lampholders. The first lampholder includes first and second electrical connectors for electrically connecting a first end of an LED lamp to a host voltage supply-line and neutral-line, respectively, and preventing improper coupling to the voltage supply-line. The second lampholder includes a first plunger component for coupling to a second end of the LED lamp and cooperating with a second plunger component provided on the second end of the LED lamp for biasing at least one of the first and second plunger components to generate a force for supporting the LED lamp in an installation position. The first lampholder engages the LED lamp only when the LED lamp is oriented in the installation position so that the first and second electrical connectors electrically connect the LED lamp to the voltage supply-line and neutral return-line, respectively, for operating the LED lamp.

Apparatus and methods for supporting a lamp. The apparatus may include a ballast, a rigid power distribution unit, and a lamp holder. The lamp holder may be in electrical communication with the rigid power distribution unit. The rigid power distribution unit may include a track that has conducting rails for supplying power to lamp holders. The track may be used to position lamp holders at any desired spacing so the track may be used in connection with fixture designs requiring different center-to-center lamp spacing. In some embodiments, the rigid power distribution unit may include a printed circuit board. The lamp holder may clamp or be soldered onto the printed circuit board and draw power from it. The printed circuit board may have traces from each lamp holder to be plugged into it.

Apparatus and methods for supporting a fluorescent lamp. The apparatus may include a ballast and one or more lamp holders. The lamp holders may be in electrical communication with the ballast via a conductor. One or more lamp holders may be removably attachable to the ballast. When a lamp holder is attached to the ballast, it may be attached in a manner that places the lamp holder in electrical communication with the conductor. The apparatus may include a lamp holder module that may support one or more lamp holders. When a lamp holder is attached to the lamp holder module, it may be attached in a manner that places the lamp holder in electrical communication with a conductor that is configured to distribute power to lamp holders that are attached to the lamp holder module.

A socket assembly includes a rotor, a housing, and first and second conductors. The rotor includes a channel formed therein and defines an axis of rotation. The channel has a length about perpendicular to the axis of rotation and defines first and second ends. The housing receives the rotor such that the rotor is rotatable about its axis of rotation between first and second positions when secured therein. The housing includes a notch. The channel of the rotor aligns with the notch of the housing when in the first position such that first and second lamp pins can be received through the notch of the housing and into the channel of the rotor. The first conductor has first and second ends each disposed on opposite sides of the rotor. The first end of the conductor contacts the first lamp pin when the rotor is in the second position and the second end of the conductor contacts the second lamp pin when the rotor is in the second position. The second conductor is electrically isolated from the first conductor when the rotor is in the first position and is in electrical communication with the first conductor when the rotor is in the second position.

This invention is directed to a lampholder for receiving a non-incandescent lamp having a 2-pin base. A surface mountable member for receiving the lamp and which has no voltage transforming circuitry is disclosed. Each pin of the lamp has an enlarged cylindrical shaped end attached to a shaft of reduced diameter. The surface mountable member has two keyhole shaped apertures, each of which has a large circular end aperture and an arc shaped slot for receiving and securely holding the pins of the lamp to the surface mountable member. The circular aperture of each keyhole shaped aperture has a diameter which is slightly larger than the diameter of the enlarged cylindrical end of the lamp pin, and the arc shaped slot has a width that is both smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical end of the lamp pin and wider than the diameter of the shaft of the pin. The enlarged ends of the pins of the lamp, when located in the arc shaped slots, prevent the lamp from being pulled out of the surface mountable member.
