A fluorescent-type lamp fixture is disclosed which can be rapidly assembled and has channel and cover members each with means to enable the members to be snapped together. The cover member carries spaced-apart holders for receiving the lamp and other electrical components. A pair of caps are provided which are plugged into the open ends of the assembled channel and cover members, the caps are shaped to insure proper alignment and effect their retention. A lens is also provided having projections that are snapped into recesses in the end caps to hold it securely.
