Abstract
Utilization of solid state ballasts enables the lamp suspension system to comprise a pair of end blocks carrying fluorescent lamp holders with the end blocks being secured to a supporting surface or having a relatively lightweight member extending between the end blocks to hold them in the desired spaced relationship. The end blocks may be designed for one or more parallel lamp tubes and may be secured together in side by side relationship with or without spaces. The solid state ballast may be situated remotely from the system or may be contained within the system in part or in whole.
