Abstract

An elongate tubular lighting assembly has a body with a length between spaced first and second ends. The tubular lighting assembly has an elongate heat sink and a light source comprising LED emittersand first and second connectors respectively at the first and second body ends for securing the lighting assembly to a light fixture. The first connector has cooperating first and second parts havingfirst and second surfaces. The first and second connector parts are configured so that the first and second surfaces are placed in confronting relationship to prevent separation of the first and second connector parts with the body in an operative state as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part from a position fully separated from the second connectorpart in a substantially straight path that is transverse to the length of the body into an engaged position. The first connector part has conductive power and ground pins and the second connector parthas conductive power and ground terminals for connecting with an external power supply and providing a grounding path for components of the lamp. The power and ground pins of the first connector partare configured to engage the power and ground terminals of the second connector part as an incident of the first connector part moving relative to the second connector part into the engaged position.A sleeve connector is also provided for mounting a non-power end of a linear LED lamp to a light fixture.
