Abstract
A fluorescent lamp lens assembly for commercial display refrigerators, the fluorescent lens assembly being generally tubular in configuration and including a length generally approximating the length of the fluorescent lamp. The fluorescent lamp is positioned into the lens assembly and held in concentric relation therein by means of a pair of end caps securing the fluorescent lamp within the tubular lens. Both of the caps allow the terminal pins of the fluorescent lamp to extend outwardly allowing the pins to connect to the lamppost of a conventional fluorescent lamp fixture. One of the ends (e.g., the top end) is provided with a removable cap allowing a spent lamp to be removed therefrom and replaced with a new one.
