Abstract
Switch-controlled vehicle room lamps are provided with an insulating structure between bus bars disposed on a back surface of a case Short circuiting between the bus bars is prevented by fitting insulating members molded from a relatively flexible resin into grooves in which the bus bars are fitted to cover exposed surfaces of the bus bars at least entirely over a portion where the mutual distance of the bus bars are reduced. In some embodiments, the insulating members are formed with projections which are adapted to be fit within holes of the case into which severed bridge portions of the bus bar extend. The projections may advantageously be provided with an acute-angled distal end and a constriction at a midsection thereof.
