Abstract
A lamp base having a clipped together support structure is disclosed. Assembly and orientation of lamps is facilitated by a bulb that first clip couples to a bulb and the bulb holder is in turn clip coupled to a lamp base. Electrical connection is made through a duct traversing the bulb holder. By further enabling the bulb holder to lamp base coupling to be rotatable, the lamp pieces may be assembled in secure relation to each other in one operation, and quickly oriented in a second operation. An appropriate bond may be subsequently applied between the bulb holder and the lamp base to permanently fix the two pieces.
