An external connected lamp holder has a first lamp holder, the first lamp holder is provided with a first socket matched with a lamp body, the lamp body has a first driving circuit board, the external connected lamp holder further includes a first female plug assembly. The external connected lamp holder, interconnected lamp holder, driving circuit board and lamp of the embodiments realize the installation of the lamp holder and the driving circuit board through plug-in electrical connection, instead of being welded together. This construction reduces the requirements of product precision, tooling precision and assembly precision in the automated production process, and it reduces the cost of automated manufacturing and the loss in the production process of products.

A linear LED lamp having a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The linear LED lamp has an elongate heat sink and a light source comprising LED emitters and a first end cap assembly at the first end of the body. The first end cap assembly has conductive power and ground pins and a support connector 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 end cap assembly are configured to engage the power and ground terminals of the support connector as an incident of the first end cap assembly moving relative to the support connector in a path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. A sleeve connector is also provided for mounting a non-power end of a linear LED lamp to a light fixture.

This invention is a device and method for converting a non-integrated CFL lamp from a two-bulb configuration into a one-bulb configuration.

The present invention relates to an electric connector and an illuminating device comprising this electric connector, wherein the electric connector comprises a housing and an end cap connected to the housing, wherein an conductor which can be connected to a power supply is arranged in the end cap, wherein the conductor comprises a stationary part and a movable part, wherein the conductor is rotatable relative to the housing along with the end cap from a first position to a second position, wherein the movable parts at least partially retract into the stationary part in the first position, and at least one movable part extends out of the stationary part in the second position so as to be in electric connection with a power consumption component arranged in the housing.

A lamp system (10) includes a straight tube type lamp (13) and a socket (14). The straight tube type lamp (13) includes a straight tube type cover (20) containing a light-emitting element, and caps (23) arranged at both ends of the cover (20). A pair of lamp pins (30) whose tips respectively protrude in directions intersecting a lamp longitudinal direction are protrudingly provided on end faces of the caps (23) at both the ends. The socket (14) includes a socket body (41), a rotor (42) which is arranged in the socket body (41) and on which the pair of lamp pins (30) of the straight tube type lamp (13) are mounted, and a pair of terminals to which the pair of lamp pins (30) mounted on the rotor (42) are connected. At least the rotor (42) can move in the lamp longitudinal direction.

An external connected lamp holder has a first lamp holder, the first lamp holder is provided with a first socket matched with a lamp body, the lamp body has a first driving circuit board, the external connected lamp holder further includes a first female plug assembly.
