Abstract: An attachment member attachable to an existing compact fluorescent lamp socket includes a pair of sidewalls and an endwall defining an inclined surface. A pair of placement apertures are engageable with corresponding engagement apertures in an attachment surface of the compact fluorescent lamp socket. Additionally, the attachment member includes a pair of placement posts corresponding to second fixture engagement apertures in the attachment surface of the compact fluorescent lamp socket. The attachment member efficiently spaces a compact fluorescent lamp from the ballast relative to a plane parallel to the fixture engaging surface of the attachment member, thereby maximizing the illumination potential of the light fixture.
