Abstract

For the uniform illumination of rooms that have no special demands in terms of freedom of glare and reflective behavior, simply fashioned long field lamps are provided wherein a fluorescent tube is located in freely radiating fashion under a housing containing electrical components. The channel-like housing has a U-shaped cross-section and is mounted on an installation track fastened to a ceiling or wall and is provided with a cover on both face sides. In order to shorten installation time, the long field lamp has a simple structural design. A cover track representing the actual installation track is designed in common with end parts having plug-in ledges. These ledges plug onto narrow sides of the cover track to form a ceiling installation frame into which the housing is introduced from below and to which the housing is latchably held.
