Patent ID: 8459831

Claim:
A linear light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, comprising: a housing having a honeycomb structure with a plurality of cells and having two ends; a light-emitting diode printed circuit board (LED PCB) fixed on a surface of the housing between the two ends, the LED PCB having a plurality of LEDs fixed thereon; an LED driver that powers the plurality of LEDs on the LED PCB, the LED driver having two inputs; two lamp bases respectively connected to the two ends of the housing, each lamp base comprising an end face, a bi-pin with two pins protruding outwards through the end face, and a shock protection switch connected with the bi-pin on the lamp base, wherein: when the bi-pin is inserted into a lamp socket, the shock protection switch is actuated to electrically connect the bi-pin with a respective one of the inputs of the LED driver; and when the shock protection switch is unactuated, the bi-pin is electrically disconnected from the respective input of the LED driver.
