Abstract
A lamp changing module for totally enclosing a lamp when the module is withdrawn from a support such as an illuminator cabinet, and permitting exposure of the lamp when properly installed and connected to the support. A potentially explosive lamp is thereby contained within the module when it is removed so that even if it explodes it will not harm nearby personnel. It also protects personnel from burn hazards associated with lamp changing.
