摘要

An adaptor ( 2 ) for fitting a fluorescent tube ( 80 ) to a fluorescent tube housing. The adaptor includes a body portion ( 6 ) for attachment to an end of the fluorescent tube ( 80 ), a pair of contact and arm assemblies and a lid portion ( 8 ). Each contact ( 10, 12 ) in the pair of assemblies is electrically connectable to a power source. Each arm ( 14, 16 ) in the pair of assemblies is adapted for electrical connection to a respective contact ( 76, 78 ) of the fluorescent tube ( 80 ) so as to provide power from the power source to a fluorescent tube ( 80 ).
