A parallelepiped lamp frame comprises a support unit comprising a lower
case and two support members on two sides of the lower case, each support
member having a plurality of lengthwise spaced apertures; and an CCFL
assembly comprising a plurality of parallel lamps each supported by a
pair of opposite apertures wherein each aperture has an inner diameter
larger than an outer diameter of the lamp, and the lamp is divided into a
connecting portion projected from the support members, and an
illumination portion. It is possible of replacing a malfunctioned lamp
without detaching the upper case. Further, high temperature at both ends
of the lamps can be reduced significantly by heat convection by exposing
the connecting portion, thereby prolonging a useful life of the CCFL
assembly.
