Abstract
A lamp retaining device for holding a lamp within a housing. The lamp retaining device includes a bracket adapted to mount to a housing. The bracket includes a channel formed therein which has a portion oriented such that an end of the lamp will rest unaided thereon. To positively secure the lamp into the bracket, a retainer is coupled to the bracket. More specifically, the retainer includes a retaining portion which is configured for insertion into the channel to positively secure the end of the lamp into the oriented portion of the channel. The retainer further includes a coupler to allow selective coupling and uncoupling of the retainer and the bracket.
