[origin: EP0940629A2] A light fitting (40) comprises an attachment portion (70) and at least one and preferably a plurality of connector portions (50,52,54) to which conventional light bulbs may be connected. The connector portions (50,52,54) are provided with electrical power through wires (60) disposed internally of the fitting (40) which are in turn connected to an electrical connector (74) provided proximate the attachment portion (70). In use, the attachment portion (70) of the fitting (40) is adapted for attachment to an existing but empty light bulb fitting (12) on a ceiling which normally receives a conventional light bulb. Simultaneously with the attachment of the light fitting to the light bulb fitting (12), electrical connection is made between said light bulb fitting (12) and the electrical connector (74) within the light fitting (40) thus providing same with power. A simple and safe means of connecting chandeliers and the like to existing light bulb fittings results.
