A multi-lamp assembly for a lighting strip includes an elongated housing from which a plurality of spaced lamp contact housings extend. Each lamp contact housing includes at least one opening that receives the free upper end of an electrical contact mounted at its lower end to a printed circuit board that is received within the interior of the elongated housing. The contacts of series-connected lamps are inserted into the openings of adjacent lamp contact housings, thereby to engage a pair of the electrical contacts therein.
