Abstract: A string light assembly is dimensioned for receipt on a standard structural frame such as a door, window, garage, etc. The lamps are spaced along an intermediate portion of the light string and a male plug is provided at a first end and a female receptacle at the other end. The light string further includes corner markings for identifying installation locations of the string set on the associated structural frame. It is also contemplated that a rigid framing member could receive a portion of the string light assembly to provide precise alignment and prevent sagging.

Abstract: An electrically insulative base for an incandescent lamp is disclosed having a three-part construction with all of the individual base parts being joined together in butt-seal engagement along a pair of horizontal planes parallel to each other and transverse to the longitudinal lamp axis. Said base construction is especially useful in the tungsten halogen cycle lamps of the high wattage type requiring that a ceramic material be used and whereby the ceramic base parts are joined together before lamp assembly with a ceramic sealing material.
