Light socket for flat ribbon cable with selectable wire connection

A method for providing power-channel selection and electrical connection of a lighting element to a selected one of a plurality of insulated wires of a flat ribbon cable, the method comprising:

• connecting, via a cable interface, a lighting-element socket to the flat ribbon cable;
• piercing, via a plurality of piercing members, insulation of corresponding ones of the plurality of insulated wires when the cable interface connects the lighting-element socket to the flat ribbon cable, the plurality of piercing members including a plurality of peripheral ones located at a common radial distance about a central one;
• providing, via each of the plurality of piercing members, a conductive connection point to the corresponding one of the plurality of insulated wires;
• receiving, via a lighting-element socket coupled to the cable interface, a lighting element within;
• conductively connecting, via the lighting-element socket, a central electrical contact at a base of the lighting element received and the central one of the plurality of piercing members;
• conductively connecting, via the lighting-element socket, a peripheral electrical contact about the base of the lighting element received and an inner conductive peripheral wall of the lighting-element socket;
• and
• rotatably selecting and conductively connecting, via a rotatable power-channel selector conductively connected to the inner conductive peripheral wall of the lighting-element socket, to a selected one of the peripheral ones of the plurality of piecing members.
