ABSTRACT:
A snap-on light socket for a flexible light strip assembly includes a plurality of sockets which are removably and randomly fixed to a standard insulated wire (conductor). The socket is, in affect, comprised of a primary chamber into which is inserted a pair of cooperating contacts which serve to grip a conventional wedge base lamp and which have sharply pointed portions extending therefrom which pierce the insulation of the wire to effect the electrical connection. A lower tunnel-like channel is formed to accept and to grip the insulated wire and includes slotted means permitting the said sharply pointed portions of the contacts to extend partially into said channels to be in position to pierce the insulation when the socket is affixed to the insulated wire.
