The retrofit LED linear lamp lampholder has a pair of endcaps, each endcap having a first end that fits on one of the terminal ends of a LED linear lamp, and a second end with an engagement mechanism that is adapted to contact with one of the end walls of the lighting fixture. In at least in one of the endcaps there is a movement mechanism for moving said second end of said at least one endcap away from its associated terminal end of LED linear lamp. For use with conventional LED linear lamps with electrical pins at terminal ends, there are electrical contacts in of the endcaps having LED linear lamp energizing lead wires that exit the endcaps.
