The swivel member has a stem which extends through the opening, this stem being adapted to have a length of conduit or the like secured thereto. The swivel member further has a passage therethrough for reception of one or more wires which pass through the conduit so as to supply power to the lighting fixture. The connector further has a pin and slot arrangement for limiting rotation of the swivel member about its longitudinal axis relative to the body member so as to permit the conduit to be threaded into he swivel member and to prevent twisting of the wires.
