A lighting tube fitting apparatus, method and system that allows movement of a lighting tube about two axes while preventing rotation about the longitudinal axis of the lighting tube it. A lighting tube within one of the disclosed fittings provides greater ability to align the electrode ends of a lighting tube with electrode holders. This reduces the need for the tight tolerances that are typically required in the art of conventional tube lighting. The movement of the lighting tube is enabled in the disclosed implementation using one or more pressure arcs within a clamp body make contact with a clamp ring that holds a lighting tube in place and prevents its rotation about its own axis. The lighting tube fittings provide the additional benefit of supporting the entire weight and position of the lighting tube, eliminating the need for any additional lighting tube supports along the length of the lighting tube.
