Abstract
Electric wires are housed within a housing space and make contact with bulb-inking contacting members , all of the bulbs being connected via bulb terminal fittings and bulb-linking contacting members . A multiple-light lighting fixture can be made suitable for a varying number of bulbs or for bulbs of varying pitch merely by altering the length of the electric wires . As a result costs can be reduced compared to the case in which a bus bar is formed in a unified manner with terminal areas which make contact with bulbs, and in which a plurality of types of bus bars are produced in order to correspond to the number of bulbs or the pitch thereof.
