Abstract A panel light assembly having two embodiments, one of which employs a translucent receptacle-filter, which is colored for filtering having horizontally extending electrical contacts extending beyond the outside surface and in proximity to first and second recesses in the inner surface of the receptacle, the receptacle-filter being dimensioned for receiving a lamp having pliable leads extending toward the top of the receptacle-filter and a resilient wedge member dimensioned for a press fit within the recesses pressing the flexible leads of the lamp against the electrical contacts; a second embodiment wherein a base is provided with first and second electrical contacts passing therethrough being dimensioned for receiving the pliable leads of a lamp thereon and a cap-filter which is translucent and utilized as a filter dimensioned for receiving the lamp thereon and having recesses dimensioned for a press fit around the ends of the electrical contacts thereby pressing the pliable leads against the electrical contacts.
A panel light assembly comprising: an electrical lamp having pliable electrical leads extending therefrom; a translucent filter member dimensioned for receiving said lamp therein, said filter member having first and second recesses for receiving said pliable electrical leads; first and second electrical contacts extending radially from said translucent filter member in proximity to said first and second recesses; and a resilient insulative wedge member received by said first and second recesses for pressing said first and second leads against said first and second electrical contacts.
