Abstract
A wedge lamp and clip having exterior means for making electric connections to a lamp lead, and having pinning means for securely locating the lamp and clip in a base are described. By bringing the lamp lead out and folding it back over the lamp clip, the clip may directly and securely mate to the envelope extension, and multiple secure electrical and mechanical contacts may be made between the clip and the lamp lead. By making the clip conductive, the electric connection need not be made directly to the lamp lead, but may be made indirectly through the conductive clip. Mechanical stress between the lamp envelope and any support may also be mediated by the clip.
