Abstract: The present invention is directed to a seasonal lamp socket for use outdoors in a variety of meteorological conditions, including rain, whereby a liquid or a gas is prevented from accumulating in the socket body in accordance with the present invention. The lamp socket and more particularly, the socket housing provides drain-through passageways which permit a liquid or a gas to enter into the interior of the socket housing and fluidly flow the length of the socket housing before draining out of the socket regardless of the socket orientation during use. Importantly, these drainage passageways prevent a liquid or gas from accumulating in the socket housing and causing damage to the electrical components thereof. Thus, the seasonal lamp socket of the present invention is intended for electrical lamp applications outdoors under adverse meteorological conditions.
