The present disclosure relates to a G24 plug adaptor for use in retrofitting a traditional plug-in energy-saving luminaire, the traditional plug-in energy-saving luminaire initially adapted to receive a traditional energy-saving lamp, to be compatible with a non-traditional panel lamp such as, but not limited to, an energy-saving LED panel lamp. The G24 plug adaptor comprises a G24 plug base comprising a plurality of contact pins, an electrical connector adapted to couple to the non-traditional lamp, and an electrical supply line connecting the G24 plug base to the electrical connector. A method of retrofitting a traditional energy-saving luminaire to be compatible with a non-traditional panel lamp by using the G24 plug adaptor, the method comprising removing a reflector of the traditional plug-in energy-saving luminaire, is also disclosed herein.

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.

An elongate tubular lighting assembly having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The tubular lighting assembly has an elongate heat sink and a light source comprising LED emitters and first and second connectors respectively at the first and second body ends for securing the lighting assembly to a light fixture. The first connector has cooperating first and second parts having first and second surfaces. The first and second connector parts are configured so that the first and second surfaces are placed in confronting relationship to prevent separation of the first and second connector parts with the body in an operative state as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part from a position fully separated from the second connector part in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. The first connector part has conductive power and ground pins and the second connector part has conductive power and ground terminals for connecting with an external power supply and providing a grounding path for components of the lamp. The power and ground pins of the first connector part are configured to engage the power and ground terminals of the second connector part as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part into the engaged position. A sleeve connector is also provided for mounting a non-power end of a linear LED lamp to a light fixture.

A straight tube LED lamp includes: a straight tube in which a plurality of light emitting diodes is housed; a first cap for forming a power feeding connection to the plurality of light emitting diodes, provided on one axial direction end side of the straight tube; and a second cap for grounding, provided on another axial direction end side of the straight tube. A first terminal for forming an electrical connection to a power feeding terminal of a first lamp socket is provided in the first cap. A second terminal for forming an electrical connection to a grounding terminal of a second lamp socket is provided in the second cap.

Embodiments of an end-cap for an LED tube are described. In one aspect, an end-cap for an LED tube may include an end-cap housing, an elastic component, a power connector, and a movable assembly. The movable assembly may include a power pin thereon and configured to connect to an external power source. The elastic component may reside inside the end-cap housing. A first end of the movable assembly may connect to the end-cap housing. A second end of the connecting assembly opposite to the first end thereof may connect to a body of the LED tube through the power connector. The power connector may be electrically disconnected from the power pin when the end-cap housing is pressed. The power connector may be electrically connected to the power pin when the end-cap housing is not pressed.

A lighting system can comprise a receptacle for mounting and supplying electricity to a lamp. The receptacle can be compatible with multiple types of lamp sockets. For example, the receptacle can be compatible with two types of lamp sockets that utilize spring force for socket retention in the receptacle. In one such lamp socket type, a spring clip retains the lamp socket in the receptacle utilizing outward spring force. In another such lamp socket type, a spring clip retains the lamp socket in the receptacle utilizing inward spring force.

The present invention discloses a weight-bearing socket and plug for a pendent lamp, and the pendent lamp can be installed and disassembled only by inserting or unscrewing the plug. The key point of the technical solution is: The linear transverse beam 8 is installed to the ceiling, and an earth wire can be connected to the screw 801; a wiring button is pressed for connecting a power line; the socket is installed to the transverse beam by using the bolt 9; the pendent lamp and the plug are assembled; the conducting wire is connected to the wiring terminal 10e; the plug positioning groove 12b1 is aligned with the positioning mark 101 of the socket and is inserted: the weight-bearing pin 3 is inserted into the pin clamping groove 12a1 and the lock tongue 6 is inserted into the lock tongue clamping groove; the binding post slider 5i is contracted inwards; the binding post 5a is pushed to move downwards and come into contact with the wiring vertical column 10d of the plug for realizing installation and electrical connection of the pendent lamp: the lock core 13b is pressed to push the lock tongue into the socket; the plug is rotated; the weight-bearing pin slides along the ramp 12a2; and when the positioning frustum 12b4 moves to the destination of the arc-shaped rotating positioning groove 115, the weight-bearing pin is contracted into the socket so the lamp can be disassembled.

End caps that attach to any standard tubing to facilitate mounting a tube with LEDs into an existing fluorescent lamp cabinet. The tube can be cut to a desired length. The end caps can be supported by the fluorescent fixtures or mounting brackets in the cabinet. An assembly comprising a light emitting diode (LED) lamp for replacing fluorescent tube lights.
