Abstract

A fluorescent light fixture is provided which includes a housing with an inwardly extending L-shaped tab. This inwardly extending L-shaped tab engages a channel in a removable socket assembly. The channel of the socket assembly can be slid into the tab so that the socket assembly, along with the sockets themselves, is in a protected position within the housing. The channel is expanded so as to permit the rotating of the socket assembly thereby bringing the sockets into position to engage fluorescent light bulbs when desired.
