The sleeves are removable for selective replacement thereof.

Wire rack with removable replaceable sleeves

A lampholder for insertion into and removal from an electrically powered lighting unit which includes a socket for receiving the lamp, means for communicating electrical power from the unit to the lamp, means for releasably engaging the unit, and a cap structured to prevent cracking superposing the socket and having an upper surface and a lower surface proximate the socket. A plurality of windows through the cap of a sufficient size to vent heat emitted from the lamp, together with the heat resistant material from which the cap is formed, prevent the upper surface from exceeding a predetermined temperature. An insulation layer is preferably disposed between the lower surface and the socket.
