Patent ID: 8226440

Claim:
A lighting system for mounting an electrical lamp having an electrical lamp connector onto a power supply, the system comprising: a holder comprising a holder body, a holder guide comprising a first electrically insulating material, and a front electrical holder connector configured to be back-connected to the power supply, a cap interfacing with the electrical lamp and the holder and comprising a cap body extending along a mounting direction between a top side for receiving the lamp connector and an opposite bottom side for receiving the holder connector and having axial holes extending between the bottom side and the top side for receiving at least a part of an electrical cap connector for electrically connecting the lamp connector with the holder connector once the lighting system is assembled; and a cap guide comprising a second electrically insulating material, wherein both the cap guide and the holder guide have no mechanical contact with any of said connectors during and after assembly of the lighting system and wherein the cap guide and holder guide are configured to fit together and guide the cap in translation along said mounting direction while limiting movements of the cap into directions perpendicular to the mounting direction, thereby facilitating positioning of the cap with respect to the holder before electrically contacting the cap connector with the holder connector.
