Abstract
A novel fluorescent lamp adaptor that safely converts an existing fluorescent lighting fixture that was designed to hold a “2D” 4-pin series fluorescent lamp to one that uses a “2C” series twin circular fluorescent lamp. The use of a type “2C” fluorescent lamp is advantageous because of its compactness, and greater efficiency, which is commensurate with a longer operational life.
