  • Patent number: 10451227
    Abstract: The present application discloses a string light assembly, such as for example, a string light assembly for task lighting in an industrial or transportation environment. In certain embodiments, an exemplary lighting device includes a length of electrical cable, at least one socket secured to the electrical cable, and at least one cover that encases the socket. The cover is secured to the electrical cable by placing the electrical cable in a through hole of the cover. In addition, the cover comprises a first connection port configured to receive an end of an electric lamp and a sloped surface that extends between a portion of the cover having the through hole and the connection port.
