## Abstract

A Christmas light assembly including a lamp holder, a lamp base press-fit into the lamp holder to hold bulb, and two electrical wires having a respective conductor terminal inserted into a top insertion hole of the lamp holder into contact with the conductor wires of the bulb, wherein the insertion hole of the lamp holder is comprised of two circular wire holes linked in parallel; the lamp base has an upright rod inserted into the insertion hole of the lamp holder to separate the electrical wires and to hold them down, and a peripheral bottom flange raised around the periphery of the bottom open end thereof; the lamp holder has a rim raised around the periphery of the bottom open end thereof and press-fit into engagement with the peripheral bottom flange of the lamp base.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A Christmas light assembly comprising:
a tapered, cylindrical, bottom-opened lamp holder having an axial insertion hole at a top side thereof;
a tapered, cylindrical, bottom-opened lamp base fit into said lamp holder and having two axial through holes;
a bulb press-fit into said lamp base and having two conductor wires inserted through the axial through holes of said lamp base and bilaterally retained between said lamp base and said lamp holder; and,
two electrical wires respectively inserted into the axial insertion hole of said lamp holder and having a respective conductor terminal respectively disposed in contact with the conductor wires of said bulb;
wherein the axial insertion hole of said lamp holder includes two circular axial wire holes linked in parallel;
said lamp holder including a rim raised around a periphery of a bottom open end of the lamp holder press-fit into engagement with a peripheral bottom flange of said lamp base;
said lamp base including an upright rod axially raised from a top side of the lamp base between said axial through holes and inserted into the axial insertion hole of said lamp holder between said circular axial wire holes to separate said electrical wires from each other, said upright rod having two longitudinal grooves at two opposite sides of said rod which receive said electrical wires respectively, and the peripheral bottom flange being raised around a periphery of a bottom open end of the lamp base.
