A fluorescent light fixture is provided for retrofitting light fixtures utilizing
conventional fluorescent lamps into light fixtures utilizing energy efficient fluorescent
lamps. The fluorescent light fixture is a single unit comprising a reflector, socket
plates at each end, lamp sockets, ballast, ballast cover and wiring. The reflector
may be slidably mounted onto the socket plates to allow the retrofit to expand
and contract. The fluorescent light fixture may include a attachment which temporarily
secures the fluorescent light fixture within a light fixture shell.
