ABSTRACT:
An extension for installation in an existing incandescent electric light socket has an appearance resembling that of a candlestick, and is particularly adaptable to use with incandescent bulbs having a flame-like appearance. The extension includes a base portion formed to cooperate with a light bulb socket, and an electrical socket in the upper end formed to cooperate with a light bulb having a base of the same size and configuration as that of the base of the extension. Thus, a light bulb may be removed from a socket and installed in the socket of the extension, and the extension installed directly into the socket from which the bulb was removed. The wider outside dimension of the upper socket relative to the lower base is camouflaged by a wider upper portion of the body of the extension, having an appearance resembling that of melted wax from a partially burned candle. The extension is adaptable to various sizes and configurations of light bulbs and sockets, including threaded sockets and bases and "plug-in" type sockets and bases as used with miniature "cool light" type bulbs, and the body portion may be formed of various materials, including new or recycled plastics in various colors.
