Abstract: A one-piece leg strap for a U-shaped fluorescent lamp having two longitudinally extending leg members joined together by a U-bend portion. The leg brace includes an elongated central body portion and a pair of generally circular end portions. Each of the circular end portions defines an opening therewithin having an inside diameter relative to the outside diameter of a respective lamp base member. A non-slip friction fit retains the leg strap on the lamp base members. Means are provided in the leg strap to compensate for variations in the outside diameter of the lamp base members. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of notches are located at opposite ends of the central body portion and define first and second laterally flexible projecting members which allow the end portions of the leg brace to be easily slipped over the lamp base members.
