Abstract: In order to be able to substantially pre-assemble the functional components of a lamp before the components of the lamp which are visible from the exterior, such as lamp shades, lamp support members and so forth are assembled thereto such that the same lamp junction can be employed for different external appearances of lamps, the lamp junction comprises a central support junction upon one or both sides of which a connection member can be mounted. Each such connection member forms a guide for an electrical connection lead and serves to rotatably support an anchorage member for a lamp shade member upon the connection member. After assembling and electrically wiring the central support junction, the connection member, the anchorage member and a lamp socket, the lamp shade member, a cover sleeve for the central support junction and the lamp support member can be subsequently mounted to the lamp junction.
