Abstract: A halogen lamp assembly having a number of independently formed component parts is provided. The lamp assembly of the invention includes a base which rests on a table or desk surface and a powder connector assembly selectively retained in part by the base. The power connector assembly includes a receptacle assembly mounted in the base for receiving an electrically conductive arm assembly and a wire assembly coupled to the receptacle assembly which may be plugged into a conventional electrical outlet. The lamp assembly further includes a bulb housing assembly for retaining a conventional halogen bulb that is selectively connectably to the arm assembly at the other end thereof.
