Abstract
A method for adapting an LED lamp tube to a fluorescent lamp tube holder, an LED lamp tube holder and an illumination device. The LED lamp tube holder comprises an adaptation bracket and a lamp tube holding clip which is connected to the adaptation bracket. The lamp tube holding clip has a circular-arc cylindrical holding surface, thereby being clamped to the outer wall of a light transmission tube of the LED lamp tube. A cylindrical pin which axially extends from the LED lamp tube holder along the light transmission tube is arranged on the adaptation bracket. The shape of the pin is the same as that of an electrically-conductive pin of the fluorescent lamp tube, thereby enabling the LED lamp tube holder to be arranged in the fluorescent lamp tube holder. The LED lamp tube can be arranged on the basis of the original LED lamp tube holder.
