Abstract
A connector is provided for securing a fluorescent light bulb having a given length into a lighting fixture having spaced apart bulb-receiving members, with the space between the bulb-receiving members being longer than the length of the bulb. The connector also has fluorescent bulb pin openings at one end which receive a lighting bulb pin or pins at one end and connector pins at the other end of the connector for receipt within a companion opening or slots within the bulb-receiving members of the lighting fixture.
