ABSTRACT:
The connecting apparatus for facilitating installing, maintaining and replacing light bulbs comprises a non-conductive base grip including two electrodes manufactured from conductive material embedded in the base grip. The two electrically conductive electrodes are electrically isolated from each other and comprise a clamping structure and a prong. The clamping structure is designed to “clamp” or “grip” onto posts or screws on a light bulb. The prong provides a point for “hot” and “neutral” electrical leads to enter or leave the connecting apparatus. The clamping structures are applied with slight pressure to posts or screws on a light bulb and remain applied through the use of a gripping force or friction.
