Description

Fluorescent lamp socket for easy assembly {SOCKET OF A FLUORESCENT LIGHT LAMP}

The present invention relates to a socket of a fluorescent lamp, and more particularly to a socket of a fluorescent lamp that can be easily coupled to the ballast by improving the structure of the socket.

Generally, lighting fixtures include various lighting fixtures such as fluorescent lamps, incandescent lamps and halogen lamps. In recent years, new lighting fixtures are being developed by increasing interest in residential environments.

In particular, the fluorescent lamp is a lighting medium having excellent luminous efficiency in consideration of cost, and is widely used in homes or industrial facilities.

Such a fluorescent lamp is composed of a reflector, a socket into which a fluorescent lamp can be fitted, and a ballast electrically connected to the socket to supply a stable voltage to the fluorescent lamp.

Thus, power is applied to the fluorescent lamp through the ballast and the socket to emit light. After all, the stable coupling of the ballast and the socket in the fluorescent lamp is very important for a stable power supply.
