An elastic electrical socket assembly is operably connected to each end of the ultraviolet light lamp. A retainer is detachably mounted on the compression nut and has means for retaining the electrical socket assembly in position. A compression spring is provided in one of the retainers to resiliently urge the electrical socket assemblies into engagement with the ends of the lamp continuously and securely.
