ABSTRACT:
A mechanical shunt for use in a socket of a string of lights resides in an otherwise typical lamp of a string of lights. The present shunt is generally T-shaped spring shunt with lateral ends with curved portions. The shunt is held by a shunt holder between the two conducting electrical terminals on the wall of the socket. Its curved portions contact the terminals when the base is removed but is electrically and physically separated from the terminals by the depending flanges of the base when the base is inserted.
