Abstract

A lighting device has a single end lamp in which a base is disposed at one end of a bulb, and a single end lamp socket into which the base is to be inserted and then twisted to be rotatively engaged with the socket. The lamp has a projection and a lamp pin both projected from a bottom of the base, the tip end of the projection being further projected from the bottom of the base than the tip end of the lamp pin. The socket has a recess into which the projection of the lamp is inserted and rotated by a predetermined angle, as well as a lamp pin insertion hole positioned outside of the recess and concentric with the recess, and having a substantially arcuate shape. A conductor plate which elastically makes contact with the lamp pin is disposed in the lamp pin insertion hole.
