Socket for a lamp with OLED lamps

The present invention relates to a light-emitting means (23) and a socket (20) for a lamp (15). The features of the socket (20) can be realized regardless of the characteristics of the luminous means (23). The socket has several socket housing pages on supply terminal portions, so that the electrical supply wiring and the socket (20) can optionally take place from different sides or simultaneously from several sides. Regardless of the number and the arrangement of power supply terminal portions (94) a plurality of electrical supply terminals (95) of the same polarity are present on the holder (20). This supply terminals (95) of the same polarity are electrically short-circuited. For short-circuiting the supply terminals of the same polarity is used in each case, a short circuit connector (116), in particular two identical short circuit connector (116) are arranged in the socket housing. This socket (20) and the lamps (23) can be very simple modular large total luminous areas of light (15) reach with an aesthetic whole.
