Abstract
A wireless light socket assembly for remotely actuating a light bulb includes a socket unit that has a male connector that is threadable into an existing light socket in a building. The socket unit has a female coupler integrated into the socket for insertably receiving a light bulb and the female coupler is in communication with the male connector. A communication unit is integrated into the socket unit and the communication unit is in remote communication with a security system of the building. The communication unit actuates the female coupler when the communication unit receives an alert signal from the security system to visually alert an observer that the security system has been triggered.
