Patent ID: 7441922

Claim:
An LED lamp assembly, comprising: a tube, the tube housing at least one circuit board mounted with LEDs; a power cord passing through and out of the tube and electrically extending from said at least one circuit board and terminating in an electric plug for connection to a power supply; a first end cap, having a cup on a first side rotatably capping a first end of the tube, and a flat non-annular surface on a second side having a first pair of mounting pins and a second pair of mounting pins extending therefrom, the mounting pins being configured to supportively and non-electrically mount the first end cap onto a first socket; and second end cap, having a cup on a first side rotatably capping a second end of the tube, and a flat non-annular surface on a second side having a first pair of mounting pins and a second pair of mounting pins extending therefrom, the mounting pins being configured to supportively and non-electrically mount the second end cap onto a second socket; wherein the first and second pairs of mounting pins of each of the first and second end caps are respectively adapted for different standard sockets; said first and second pairs of mounting pins being selectively breakable and removable from the first and second end caps, for fitting an unbroken, remaining first and second pair of mounting pins in a suitable standard socket; wherein said tube is configured to be freely rotatable relative to said first and second end caps directly, devoid of any displacement of said first and second end caps; said rotation resulting from a force imparted along any portion of the entire length of the tube; said rotation and force independent of location of first and second end caps.
