The lamp holder assembly pulls out so that access can be gained to the lamps. The lamp holder assembly comprises a base member and a bracket member with lamp sockets affixed to the bracket member. The bracket member slides against the base and is held in position on the ba se by slots in the bracket member that engage guide pins extending from the bas e. Further guidance for the bracket member may include twin parallel rails extending form the base and spaced so as to form a channel in which the bracket member travels. The pull-out assembly may also have a leaf spring attached to the base member that further guides the bracket member while in motion.
