Abstract
A light fixture includes first and second industrial socket housings and a wireway. The socket housings are coupled to each end of the wireway. Each socket housing can be constructed as a two-piece housing and includes turret-type fluorescent lamp sockets. The two-piece housing includes an end cap and a socket track coupled together. The end cap includes an end wall having at least one socket hole with a turret-type fluorescent lamp socket mounted thereon. At least one female turret-type socket is mounted in the first socket housing and at least one male turret-type socket is mounted in the second socket housing such that the male and female sockets are opposite each other. A fluorescent lamp having opposing ends is receivable at each end by one of the male and female turret-type sockets. The light fixture may also include one or more reflectors to reflect light emitted by the lamp.
