Abstract

A lamp system including a bulb assembly, a socket assembly, and a conductor base assembly is provided. The bulb assembly includes an insulation object, a first bulb pin, and a second bulb pin. The socket assembly includes an outer housing, a first conductive terminal, and a second conductive terminal. The outer housing includes an opening to install the bulb assembly. The conductor base assembly includes a conductor. The conductor base assembly is an element manufactured independently and should be placed within the socket assembly. When the bulb assembly is not installed in the socket assembly, the two ends of the conductor contact the conductive terminals, respectively. When the bulb assembly is installed in the socket assembly, the insulation object on the bottom of the bulb assembly insulates the terminals from the conductor. The conductive terminals contact the bulb pins, respectively.
