High-voltage plug-in light string with integrated LED bulbs and method of making thereof
A method of making a first light assembly of a string light is disclosed, the method includes providing a bulb, a first wire, and a second wire, each of the first and second wires has an exposed end; connecting the exposed ends of the first and second wires to the bulb; inserting an inner insert in a space between the first and second wires where the first and second wires converge; encapsulating the first and second wires using a heat shrink tube where the exposed ends of the first and second wires are connected to the bulb; and affixing a lamp holder around the bulb and a portion of the first and second wires and on top of the inner insert to secure at least a portion of the bulb within the lamp holder.
1 . A method of making a first light assembly of a string light, the method comprising:
providing a bulb, a first wire, and a second wire, each of the first and second wires has an exposed end;
connecting the exposed ends of the first and second wires to the bulb;
inserting an inner insert in a space between the first and second wires where the first and second wires converge;
encapsulating the first and second wires using a heat shrink tube where the exposed ends of the first and second wires are connected to the bulb;
affixing a lamp holder around the bulb and a portion of the first and second wires and on top of the inner insert to secure at least a portion of the bulb within the lamp holder; and
affixing a lamp collar between an upper opening of the lamp holder and the bulb such that at least a part of the lamp collar is between the lamp holder and the bulb.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the striped ends of the first and second wires are connected to the LED bulb by welding.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the striped ends of the first and second wires are connected to the LED bulb by riveting metal connectors.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the bulb is an LED bulb.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising connected the first light assembly with a second light assembly in series to form a string light.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising adding a front plug and a rear plug to the light string.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least a part of the lamp collar is between an inner surface of the lamp holder and an outer surface of the bulb.
8 . A light assembly of a string light comprising:
a bulb;
a first wire and a second wire, each connected to the bulb in series;
an inner inserted in a space between the first and second wires where the first and second wires converge;
a heat shrink tube encapsulating the first and second wires where the exposed ends of the first and second wires are connected to the bulb;
a lamp holder affixed around the bulb and a portion of the first and second wires and on top of the inner insert to secure at least a portion of the bulb within the lamp holder; and
a lamp collar affixed between an upper opening of the lamp holder and the bulb such that at least a part of the lamp collar is between the lamp holder and the bulb.
