Abstract
A light bulb assembly includes a light bulb, a base receiving the light bulb, and a socket receiving the base. The base is formed with a displaceable arm terminating in a locking element. The socket is formed with an opening through a wall having an edge adapted to receive the locking element to lock the base to the socket. The base is releasable from the socket by passing a pointed implement through the opening to displace the finger and thereby to release the locking element.
