The lamp includes a base, an arm extending outwardly from the base, and a lamp housing coupled to the arm at the end of the arm opposite the base. The replaceable cartridge is connected to the lamp housing, and comprises a bulb and a bulb housing. The bulb is a fluorescent tube that is the light source for the light fixture. A ballast that is separate and independent from the bulb, and steps up the low voltage from a power source to the high voltage current required by the bulb. The ballast is disposed within the base and is interconnected to the replaceable cartridge with a quick disconnect plug. The separate ballast and bulb allow the bulb to be replaced independently of the ballast.
