Light bulb assembly

A light bulb assembly configured to be connected to a light bulb socket, the light bulb assembly comprising:

• a base including an electrically conductive shell separate from and configured to be removably connected to the light bulb socket, the shell defining a negative terminal of the light bulb assembly;
• a bulb housing mounted to the base;
• a positive terminal held by the shell of the base, the positive terminal being electrically isolated from the negative terminal of the light bulb assembly;
• a light bulb held by the bulb housing and comprising a printed circuit board (PCB);
• and
• an electrical connector comprising a connector housing, a positive contact held by the connector housing, and a negative contact held by the connector housing, the electrical connector being mounted to the PCB such that the positive and negative contacts are electrically connected to the PCB, wherein the positive contact mates with the positive terminal and the negative contact engages the shell at a separable interface to electrically connect the PCB to the base.
