Abstract
The present invention provides a high-temperature ceramic lampholder with an integral thermal switch for use in recessed or portable recessed lighting fixtures for general lighting in residential, institutional and commercial buildings. Lampholders according to the invention extend lamp life by reducing lamp base temperatures; improve fixture safety by lowering the heat on wire insulation; and lower fixture toxicity and enhance fixture reliability by eliminating solder joints with spade connectors.
