Abstract
A lamp clamping and electrically connecting device includes a base, two flexible portions and two protrusions. The flexible portions are interspaced to be disposed on the base. The protrusions are correspondingly disposed on the inner sides of the flexible portions. In a natural state, the gap between the protrusions is smaller than the diameter of an electrode end of a lamp. When the electrode end is moved towards the base in the gap between the protrusions, the electrode end presses the protrusions so that the flexible portions swing outwardly. When the electrode end touches the base, the protrusions are restored to the natural state, so that the protrusions and the base clamp the electrode end, and that the electrode end is electrically connected to the device.
