These multi-lamp assemblies have been somewhat bulky since each lamp socket required a certain amount of space and had two lead connections thereto. Thus, although these multi-lamp assemblies are satisfactory in many applications, they are not satisfactory where only a limited amount of space is available for the multi-lamp assembly. Accordingly, a
- primary object of the present invention is to provide a compact multi-lamp assembly.
