Abstract
A miniature lamp for use in a holder, includes a miniature bulb and a longitudinally-extending base. The base in turn includes a body defining an outer surface and an open-top cavity configured and dimensioned to receive a portion of the bulb therein, and a cantilever projecting generally longitudinally from the body. The cantilever is movable between a releasing orientation and a locking orientation, the cantilever in the releasing orientation enabling at least limited relative rotation of the bulb and the base and in the locking orientation precluding such relative rotation. The cantilever is biased to the releasing orientation and automatically assumes the locking orientation when the base is inserted into a holder. Dumet leads extend from the bulb portion in the cavity, through the body, and onto the body outer surface.
