A replacement for the standard fluorescent lamp tube has a plurality of LED devices mounted on a circuit board. The enclosure within which the circuit board is held has a clear or frosted lens mounted on a heat sink. The lens and heat sink each are arcuately shaped and together form a circular tube.

A replacement for the standard fluorescent lamp tube has a plurality of LED devices mounted on a circuit board. The enclosure within which the circuit board is held has a clear or frosted lens mounted on a heat sink. The lens and heat sink each are arcuately shaped and together form a circular tube. A power converter is mounted below the circuit board and transfers its heat to the heat sink. A pair of pins mounted on the power converter extend beyond one end of the tube. An end cap has means for snapping onto and off the end of the tube and has clearance holes for the pins to protrude through and extend beyond so as to be fitting into mechanical and electrical contact with a standard lamp mounting fixture.

What is claimed is: 1. A longitudinally extensive lighting assembly, comprising:an electrical circuit having a plurality of light emitting diodes;a power converter interconnected with the electrical circuit for directing direct current to the light emitting diodes;a lens covering the light emitting diodes, the lens having a semi-circular shape and a first pair of longitudinally directed edges;a heat sink having a semi-circular shape and a second pair of longitudinally directed edges;the first and second pairs of edges mutually engaged thereby forming a rigid, longitudinally directed circular tube with two opposing open ends;a pair of electrically conductive contact pins of the power converter extending longitudinally beyond one end of the tubular enclosure; andan end cap mounted on the one end of the tubular enclosure, the end cap having a circular flange split into two opposing portions, the portions engaged in strained opposition around the tubular enclosure at one of the open ends.
