A solid-state lamp includes a first plurality of solid-state emitters that emit light at visible wavelengths and a second plurality of solid-state emitters that emit light at a safe ultraviolet wavelength, wherein the second plurality of solid-state emitters emit light at least when the first plurality of solid-state emitters emit light.

A conductive mechanism includes two bases, an inner conductive spring and an outer conductive spring. The two bases are opposite to each other. Each of the bases includes a surface and a partition wall protruding relative to the surface. The inner conductive spring is disposed at inner sides of the two partition walls of the two bases. The outer conductive spring is disposed at outer sides of the two partition walls of the two bases. At least one of two ends of each of the inner conductive spring and the outer conductive spring rotatably abuts against the surface of one of the bases.
