ABSTRACT:
A low-voltage light fixture to facilitate the insertion and removal of light bulbs, where the light bulb is inserted in a socket which is releasable secured to a carriage. The electrical contact to a pair of leads on the light bulb is made by a pair of acruate terminals fastened within the carriage. The terminals have one free end so that they may bend freely upon insertion of the socket within the carriage. The socket includes a depression configured to conform to the shape of the arcuate terminals, so that the terminals snap into the depression when the socket is inserted into the carriage. The leads extend acros the depression to improve the electrical contact. The socket is further secured to the carriage by a pair of grooves which mate to the carriage's guiding rails. The invention further comprises a retrofitting cover and spring-clip mechanism for holding such cover to the housing of the string-lighting system. The spring clip has a pair of protruding brackets and a plurality of barbs which frictionally anchor the spring clip and the retrofitting cover within the channel of the housing.
