ABSTRACT:
A quick connect lamp socket for rapid connection to a pair of electrical conductors to provide temporary lighting includes a structure that is entirely plastic except for a first rigid conductive member that contacts the threads of a screwed-in light bulb and a second rigid conductive member that contacts the center conductor of the light bulb. Each of the first and second conductive members have sharp edges that cut through the insulation of the cable as the conductors of the cable are pressed against the edges. A pair of pivotally connected arms function as levers having pads that press the insulated cable conductors against the cutting edges of the first and second conductive members. A cap pressed on the device retains the insulated conductors in place. The arms pivot to lock together and form a hook through which a cable can extend to support the quick connect socket.
