Abstract
A quick-change lighting assembly includes a stationary ring, a plurality of clips, and a compression ring arranged between the stationary ring and the clips. Each clip has a retaining end and moves between a retaining and a releasing position, whereby the retaining end is deflected against the compression member when moving from the retaining position to the releasing position. The compression member can move towards the stationary member from an extended position, such that movement of the clips moves the compression member from the extended position to a first position. The clips accept a flange of a socket assembly, the flange defects the retaining ends from the retaining position to the releasing position until the flange directly engages the compression member and further translates the compression member to a second compressed position and the clips return to the retaining position below the flange.
