ABSTRACT:
A light set has multiple light units mounted on a multi-wire insulated cord, each light unit comprising a plastic push-in lampholders containing a bulb with two lead wires, a socket member receiving a pair of push-in contact elements and lampholder, and a base unit which snaps together with the socket member over the cord preparatory to insertion of the contact elements and lampholders. The contact elements pierce the cord insulation on opposite sides of a cutout through a selected one of the cord wires and establish positive contact with both parts of the severed wire by straddling respective of the wire parts with a pair of sharp prongs. Positive positioning of the bulb leads with respect to the contact elements is established by flexible leg extensions on the lampholders which interfit at their free ends with the leads and swing back to a position in the socket member pressing the leads against the contact elements.
