Abstract
A lighting fixture housing has a lamp cavity and two electrical sockets adjacent the opposite sides of the housing in the lamp cavity. Side barriers are adjacent the opposite sides and overlie the sockets such that each socket is located between a barrier and a housing side and is recessed behind the barrier by a distance. Lamp receiving openings in the barriers are coaxially aligned with the sockets to permit a lamp to extend through the openings and connect the lamp to the sockets. A channel in one barrier has a first portion extending along a peripheral edge of the barrier and a second portion extending from the first portion and terminating in the lamp receiving opening of the barrier.
