Abstract

A multiple integrated lamp system is powered by a power source. The system includes a first integral lamp having lamp electronics and a lamp integrated as a single unit, and a second integral lamp having lamp electronics in a lamp also integrated as a single unit. A first connection wire is connected from a first pin of the first integral lamp to a second pin of the first integral lamp. A second connection wire is connected from a first pin of the second integral lamp to a second pin of the second integral lamp. A first power line is connected at a first end to the power source, at a second end to a third pin of the first integral lamp, and at a third end to a third pin of the second integral lamp. Further, a second power line is connected at a first end to the power source, at a second end to a fourth pin of the second integral lamp, and a third end to a fourth pin of the second integral lamp.
