An integrated fluorescent lamp device for use with a lamp fixture including a lamp socket configured to removably receive a portion of the integrated fluorescent lamp device therein to selectively support the integrated fluorescent lamp device thereon, the integrated fluorescent device comprises an enclosure to house an electronic ballast coupled to a lamp base affixed to the enclosure having a pair of mounting members formed on opposite sides thereof configured to be removably received in the lamp socket obversely configured to secure the integrated fluorescent lamp device to the lamp fixture and a fluorescent lamp affixed to the enclosure including a spiral shaped glass tube containing a gas electrically coupled to the electronic ballast such that when a switch mounted on the lamp fixture is in the on position electricity flows from an AC power source through the lamp base, electronic ballast and fluorescent lamp to energize the gas within the spiral shaped glass tube.
An integrated fluorescent lamp device for use with a lamp fixture including a lamp socket configured to removably receive a portion of said integrated fluorescent lamp device therein to selectively support said integrated fluorescent lamp device thereon, said integrated fluorescent device comprises an enclosure to house an electronic ballast coupled to a lamp base affixed to said enclosure having at least one mounting member formed thereon configured to be removably received in the lamp socket obversely configured to secure said integrated fluorescent lamp device to the lamp fixture and a fluorescent lamp affixed to said enclosure including a tube containing a gas electrically coupled to said electronic ballast such that when a switch mounted on the lamp fixture is in the on position electricity flows from an AC power source through the lamp base, said electronic ballast and said fluorescent lamp to energize said gas within said tube.
The integrated fluorescent lamp device of claim 13 wherein the lamp socket comprises a centrally disposed rectilinear cavity having a key-way formed on opposite side walls of the centrally disposed rectilinear cavity to receive a centrally disposed rectilinear base member and a corresponding mounting member.
The integrated fluorescent lamp device of claim 16 wherein said electronic ballast further comprises a second electronic ballast input and a second electronic ballast output electrically coupled to a lamp input and a lamp output.
