A universal mounting structure has receptacles for connection to a cold cathode tube. The structure has a mounting bracket which may be rotated about a longitudinal access of a receptacle housing, thus allowing mounting in any of a plurality of different configurations. The receptacle may include an electrical threaded connecter for an input signal to be received, the electrical threaded connector being aligned with the longitudinal access of the receptacle housing and providing a physical connection by which a mounting bracket may secure the receptacle housing to a mounting wall. The electrical threaded connector can also be used as a single attachment point for the receptacle. In another embodiment, the housing itself includes a flange extending from a plurality of faces of the housing to facilitate different mounting configurations.
