Abstract:
A device for holding a compact fluorescent lamp in a light fixture with a socket and a lamp base is shown and described. The bayonet-type fixing of the lamp base in a socket is effected by means of a plug-and-rotate motion. In order to give manufacturers of light fixtures the possibility of manufacturing light fixtures for lamps with a predetermined or maximally admissible lamp wattage, the invention proposes a key system with seven key pairs. Each key pair comprises a lamp key and a socket key and characterizes a predetermined lamp wattage. Concretely speaking, the socket key is a lug arranged in a hole and the lamp key is a plug corresponding to the socket hole with a outwardly open cutout. In addition, a key system for making predetermined lamp types recognizable is described.
