Abstract
An improved lamp and socket assembly is disclosed in which a socket collar is mechanically secured to the panel or reflector when the lamp is used. The base of the lamp attaches to the collar as does the electrical connector. The combination enables a more repeatable alignment of the lamp in the panel or reflector. A compact assembly is achieved by using nested cylinders in the parts.
