ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND
This invention relates to an electrical light assembly including an adapter for connecting a light shade to an electrical socket.
Light shades, usually in the form of glass or plastic members, are often used to extend around a light bulb to eliminate glare from the bulb and to add aesthetic appeal. For example, various light fixtures and ceiling fans often include one or more lights which include an electrical socket for receiving a bulb and a glass shade that is connectable to the socket. However, it is often difficult to connect the light shade to the socket without damaging or breaking the shade.
Therefore, what is needed is an adapter to facilitate connecting a light shade to an electrical socket without damaging the light shade.
