Abstract

A lamp assembly comprising a bracket (12) adapted for mounting on a surface and comprising mechanical (16,18) and electrical (13) connection means for connecting to a lamp body, and a lamp body having means (10,11,6) for mechanically and electrically connecting to the bracket, wherein the lamp body comprises at least one printed circuit board (PCB) (6) provided with electrical contacts, the lamp being mounted on the bracket in such a manner that the electrical contacts on the PCB make electrical connection with electrical contacts on the bracket. The lamp body can slide with respect to the bracket to bring the PCB into and out of electrical contact with the bracket. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
