   A lightbulb socket, lightbulb holder, light socket, lamp socket or lamp holder is a device which mechanically supports and provides electrical connections for a compatible electric lamp base. [1] Sockets allow lamps to be safely and conveniently replaced (re-lamping).

4. Lampette - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampette

   The miniature 12-volt DC automotive-type #93 lightbulb utilized by Tensor, Lampette, and other designers of similar products, are smaller than the standard household 110/220-volt AC incandescent light bulb but produced more lumens in a smaller area, so that the lamp bulbs burn out at an increased rate. While standard bulbs last around 1,000 ...

   6-volt (left) and 4.5-volt (right) lantern batteries. A lantern battery is a rectangular battery, typically an alkaline or zinc–carbon primary battery, used primarily in flashlights or lanterns. Lantern batteries are physically larger and consequently offer higher capacity than the more common flashlight batteries.

6. Wedge base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_base

   Bulbs of this type are commonly used in automotive lighting and in low-voltage lighting used in landscape lighting. The bulb may have dual filaments, acting as both a low-wattage tail light or parking light and a higher-wattage brake light or turn signal. In this case, one has its contacts near the center of the base, and the other toward the ...

7. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

   A 50-hour-life projection bulb, for instance, is designed to operate only 50 °C (122 °F) below that melting point. Such a lamp may achieve up to 22 lumens per watt, compared with 17.5 for a 750-hour general service lamp. [77] Lamps of the same power rating but designed for different voltages have different luminous efficacy.
