The invention relates to LED lighting and provides an improved connector for securing LED tube lamps to an overhead lighting fixture. Conventional connector systems create safety issues because they lack ground protection for the lamp. According to the invention, first and second connectors parts at opposite ends of the lamp engage corresponding connector parts mounted to the light fixture so that first and second surfaces of corresponding connector parts form a secure mechanical engagement as the lamp is moved in a path that is transverse to its length into an engaged position. The first connector part has power and ground pins and the corresponding connector part has power and ground terminals for connecting with a power supply and providing a grounding path for the lamp. The power and ground pins engage the power and ground terminals as the connector parts are placed into the engaged position.
