ABSTRACT:
A light bulb-socket adapter for connecting a bayonet type light bulb to an Edison type socket or an Edison type light bulb to a bayonet type socket. The light bulb-socket adapter includes an Edison type connector section made of conductive material and a connection terminal extending therefrom and a bayonet type bulb receiving section and first and second contact terminals positioned within the receiving section for connecting a bayonet type light bulb to an Edison type socket. The light bulb-socket adapter includes a bayonet type connector section and first and second contact terminals extending from the connector section and an Edison type bulb receiving section made of conductive material and a connection terminal extending therefrom for connecting an Edison type light bulb to a bayonet type socket. Each adaptor includes a nonconductive barrier layer connected between and electrically isolating said Edison type section and bayonet type section, a first connection wire connecting the conductive material of the Edison type section to the first connection terminal of the bayonet type section and a second connection wire connecting the contact terminal of the Edison type section to the second connection terminal of the bayonet type section. When the adaptor is connected between a bulb and socket, the bulb and socket form a complete circuit via the first and second wires respectively.
